Using a custom value

Use the object-[<value>] syntax to set the object position based on a completely custom value:

<img class="object-[25%_75%] ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

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

<img class="object-(--my-object) ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

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

Responsive design

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

<img class="object-center md:object-top ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
