Anytime you need to display a piece of content—like an image with an optional caption, consider using a <figure>.

Use the included .figure, .figure-img and .figure-caption classes to provide some baseline styles for the HTML5 <figure> and <figcaption> elements. Images in figures have no explicit size, so be sure to add the .img-fluid class to your <img> to make it responsive.

Sample photo
A caption for the above image.
<figure class="figure">
  <img src="../../../docs/sample-photo.webp" class="figure-img img-fluid rounded" alt="Sample photo" width="400" height="267">
  <figcaption class="figure-caption">A caption for the above image.</figcaption>
</figure>

Aligning the figure's caption is easy with the text utilities.

Sample photo
A caption for the above image.
<figure class="figure">
  <img src="../../../docs/sample-photo.webp" class="figure-img img-fluid rounded" alt="Sample photo" width="400" height="267">
  <figcaption class="figure-caption text-end">A caption for the above image.</figcaption>
</figure>

In the felt look, the figure image gets a hairline edge and a small shadow, so the photo seems to lie on the felt. The caption stays plain text in --muted.
