Get started with Bootstrap

How it works

Badges scale to match the size of the immediate parent element by using relative font sizing and em units. As of v5, badges no longer have focus or hover styles for links.

Buttons

Badges can be used as part of links or buttons to provide a counter.

Positioned

Use utilities to modify a .badge and position it in the corner of a link or button.

Background colors

Use our background utility classes to quickly change the appearance of a badge. Please note that when using Bootstrap’s default .bg-light, you’ll likely need a text color utility like .text-dark for proper styling. This is because background utilities do not set anything but background-color.

Pill badges

Use the .rounded-pill utility class to make badges more rounded with a larger border-radius.
