Basic usage

Making elements invisible

Use invisible to hide an element, but still maintain its place in the DOM, affecting the layout of other elements (compare with .hidden from the display documentation).

html
<div class="...">
  <div>01</div>
  <div class="invisible ...">02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Making elements visible

Use visible to make an element visible. This is mostly useful for undoing the invisible utility at different screen sizes or other conditionals.

html
<div>
  <div class="...">
    Invisible
    <div class="invisible">01</div>
  </div>
  <div class="group ...">
    Hover me
    <div class="invisible group-hover:visible ...">02</div>
  </div>
  <div class="...">
    Invisible
    <div class="invisible">02</div>
  </div>
</div>

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:invisible to apply the invisible utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

html
<div class="visible md:invisible">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
