Basic usage
Repeat
Use bg-repeat to repeat the background image both vertically and horizontally.
<div class="bg-repeat ..." style="background-image: url(...)"></div>No Repeat
Use bg-no-repeat when you don’t want to repeat the background image.
<div class="bg-no-repeat bg-center ..." style="background-image: url(...)"></div>Repeat Horizontally
Use bg-repeat-x to repeat the background image only horizontally.
<div class="bg-repeat-x bg-center ..." style="background-image: url(...)"></div>Repeat Vertically
Use bg-repeat-y to repeat the background image only vertically.
<div class="bg-repeat-y bg-center ..." style="background-image: url(...)"></div>Applying conditionally
Hover, focus, and other states
Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:bg-repeat-x to only apply the bg-repeat-x utility on hover.
<div class="bg-repeat hover:bg-repeat-x">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.
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:bg-repeat-x to apply the bg-repeat-x utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
<div class="bg-repeat md:bg-repeat-x">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
