Modal Size

Change the size of the modal by adding the .modal-sm class for small modals, .modal-lg class for large modals, or .modal-xl for extra large modals.

Add the size class to the <div> element with class .modal-dialog:

Small Modal

<div class="modal-dialog modal-sm">

Large Modal

<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
Try it Yourself »

Extra Large Modal

<div class="modal-dialog modal-xl">

By default, modals are "medium" in size.

<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered">

Scrolling Modal

When you have a lot of content inside the modal, a scrollbar is added to the page. See the examples below to understand it:

Example

<div class="modal-dialog">
Try it Yourself »

However, it is possible to only scroll inside the modal, instead of the page itself, by adding .modal-dialog-scrollable to .modal-dialog:

Example

<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-scrollable">
