make images the same size in bootstrap grid

Question

I am creating an image gallery with 3 rows, each containing 3 images by using the Bootstrap grid system. All of the images have different size. What I am trying to do is make all of the images the same size. I tried to use the max-height or max-width in my CSS, however it didn't help to make all the images (thumbnails) similar size. Should I just get rig of the thumbnail class or is there another solution?

body {
      padding-top: 70px;}
    .row .flex {
     display: inline-flex;
     width: 100%;}
    img {
     width:100%;
     min-height:100px;}

Answer 1

I think the property you're looking for is object-fit

img {
    width: 200px; /* You can set the dimensions to whatever you want */
    height: 200px;
    object-fit: cover;
}

The object-fit property works similarly to how you would using background-size: cover on a background image to make it fill the page without stretching. This way, you can define a width in a rule that all images will follow to ensure that they are the same size without distorting your picture.

Other values you can use with this property includes:

• fill - stretch the image.
• contain - preserve the aspect ratio of the image.
• cover - Fill the height and width of the box.
• none - Keep the original size.
• scale-down - compare the differences between none and contain to find the smallest object size.

Answer 2

Add the css class img-responsive to every image.

Answer 3

just modify this:

img {
    width: 100px; // how much you want
    min-height: 100px;
    float: left;
    margin: 10px;
}

Answer 4

Go to "Inspect Element" in your browser and look for something like:

.thumbnail a>img, .thumbnail>img {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: auto; }

Change it to:

.thumbnail a>img, .thumbnail>img {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 300px; //change as per your requirement }
