Examples

Basic example

Use min-h-<number> utilities like min-h-24 and min-h-64 to set an element to a fixed minimum height based on the spacing scale:

min-h-96

min-h-80

min-h-64

min-h-48

min-h-40

min-h-32

min-h-24

<div class="h-20 ...">  <div class="min-h-80 ...">min-h-80</div>  <div class="min-h-64 ...">min-h-64</div>  <div class="min-h-48 ...">min-h-48</div>  <div class="min-h-40 ...">min-h-40</div>  <div class="min-h-32 ...">min-h-32</div>  <div class="min-h-24 ...">min-h-24</div></div>

Using a percentage

Use min-h-full or min-h-<fraction> utilities like min-h-1/2, and min-h-2/5 to give an element a percentage-based minimum height:

min-h-full

min-h-9/10

min-h-3/4

min-h-1/2

min-h-1/3

<div class="min-h-full ...">min-h-full</div><div class="min-h-9/10 ...">min-h-9/10</div><div class="min-h-3/4 ...">min-h-3/4</div><div class="min-h-1/2 ...">min-h-1/2</div><div class="min-h-1/3 ...">min-h-1/3</div>

Using a custom value

Use the min-h-[<value>] syntax to set the minimum height based on a completely custom value:

<div class="min-h-[220px] ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

For CSS variables, you can also use the min-h-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<div class="min-h-(--my-min-height) ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

This is just a shorthand for min-h-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix a min-height utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="h-24 min-h-0 md:min-h-full ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation .

Customizing your theme

The min-h-<number> utilities are driven by the --spacing theme variable, which can be customized in your own theme:

@theme {  --spacing: 1px; }

Learn more about customizing the spacing scale in the theme variable documentation .
