Utilities for choosing which box an element's background paints against — its border, its padding, or its content area.

| bg-origin-padding | background-origin: padding-box; |
| bg-origin-content | background-origin: content-box; |
Examples
Basic example
Reach for the bg-origin-border, bg-origin-padding, and bg-origin-content utilities to decide which box paints an element's background:
bg-origin-border
bg-origin-padding
bg-origin-content
<div class="border-4 bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] bg-origin-border p-3 ..."></div><div class="border-4 bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] bg-origin-padding p-3 ..."></div><div class="border-4 bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] bg-origin-content p-3 ..."></div>Responsive design
Add a breakpoint prefix such as md: ahead of any background-origin utility so the styling only kicks in once the viewport reaches medium screens and up:
<div class="bg-origin-border md:bg-origin-padding ..."> <!-- ... --></div>Find out more about working with variants variant reference guide.
