Background Attachment

Fixed

Use bg-fixed to fix the background image relative to the viewport.

Local

Use bg-local to scroll the background image with the container and the viewport.

Scroll

Use bg-scroll to scroll the background image with the viewport, but not with the container.

Responsive

To control the background attachment of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing background attachment utility. For example, use md:bg-fixed to apply the bg-fixed utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="bg-local md:bg-fixed ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for background attachment utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the background attachment utilities by modifying the backgroundAttachment property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      extend: {
        // ...
+       backgroundAttachment: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don't plan to use the background attachment utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the backgroundAttachment property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     backgroundAttachment: false,
    }
  }
