Opt your images into responsive behavior (so they never become larger than their parent elements) and add lightweight styles to them—all via classes.

## Responsive images
Images in Bootstrap are made responsive with `.img-fluid`. `max-width: 100%;` and `height: auto;` are applied to the image so that it scales with the parent element.
In Internet Explorer 9-10, SVG images with `.img-fluid` are disproportionately sized. To fix this, add `width: 100% \9;` where necessary. This fix improperly sizes other image formats, so Bootstrap doesn't apply it automatically.

## Image shapes
Add classes to an `<img>` element to easily style images in any project.
<divclass="bd-example bd-example-images">
<imgdata-src="holder.js/200x200"class="img-rounded"alt="A generic square placeholder image with rounded corners">
<imgdata-src="holder.js/200x200"class="img-circle"alt="A generic square placeholder image where only the portion within the circle circumscribed about said square is visible">
<imgdata-src="holder.js/200x200"class="img-thumbnail"alt="A generic square placeholder image with a white border around it, making it resemble a photograph taken with an old instant camera">
Align images with the [helper float classes]({{ site.baseurl }}/components/utilities/#responsive-floats) or [text alignment classes]({{ site.baseurl }}/components/utilities/#text-alignment). `block`-level images can be centered using [the `.m-x-auto` margin utility class]({{ site.baseurl }}/components/utilities/#horizontal-centering).
