Applying conditionally

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:object-scale-down to apply the object-scale-down utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

html
<img class="object-contain md:object-scale-down">
