Bootstrap 5 Utilities

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

Bootstrap 5 provides a lot of utilities to make a stylish, mobile-friendly, and responsive front-end website without using any CSS code. The utility layout is used for showing, hiding, aligning, and spacing content.

Bootstrap 5 utilities for layout:

Changing display: Bootstrap 5 provides some display properties for setting the display. Some display properties like set to display responsive and display toggling, etc. It can be mixed with a grid system, content, or component for a responsive output.
Flexbox options: The Flexible Box Layout Module in bootstrap5 is used for designing the flexible and responsive layout structure. Most of the components are made with flexbox enabled.
Margin and padding: In Bootstrap 5, we use the margin and padding (spacing) utility to set the space and size of an element. It includes a six-level scale for spacing utilities, based on a 1rem value. We can choose values for viewports or choose specific viewports.
Toggle visibility: Bootstrap 5 regulates element visibility without changing display content. Invisible elements still affect the page layout but are hidden from display.
