padding

The padding CSS shorthand property sets the padding area on all four sides of an element at once.

Try it

An element’s padding area is the space between its content and its border.

Note: Padding creates extra space within an element. In contrast, margin creates extra space around an element.

Constituent properties

This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:

Syntax

/* Apply to all four sides */ padding: 1em; /* top and bottom | left and right */ padding: 5% 10%; /* top | left and right | bottom */ padding: 1em 2em 2em; /* top | right | bottom | left */ padding: 5px 1em 0 2em; /* Global values */ padding: inherit; padding: initial; padding: revert; padding: revert-layer; padding: unset; 

The padding property may be specified using one, two, three, or four values. Each value is a or a . Negative values are invalid.

  • When one value is specified, it applies the same padding to all four sides.
  • When two values are specified, the first padding applies to the top and bottom, the second to the left and right.
  • When three values are specified, the first padding applies to the top, the second to the right and left, the third to the bottom.
  • When four values are specified, the paddings apply to the top, right, bottom, and left in that order (clockwise).

Values

The size of the padding as a fixed value.

The size of the padding as a percentage, relative to the inline size (width in a horizontal language, defined by writing-mode ) of the containing block.

Formal definition

  • padding-bottom : 0
  • padding-left : 0
  • padding-right : 0
  • padding-top : 0
  • padding-bottom : the percentage as specified or the absolute length
  • padding-left : the percentage as specified or the absolute length

All the padding properties can have the following values:

  • % — specifies a padding in % of the width of the containing element
  • inherit — specifies that the padding should be inherited from the parent element
