Summary  
This chapter explains how to apply Bootstrap’s predefined CSS utility classes (e.g., img-fluid, img-thumbnail, rounded, rounded-circle, rounded-pill) to images for responsive scaling, consistent styling, and custom shapes.  

General domain of usage  
Front-end web development

## Responsive image
Responsive images are crucial. Bootstrap's `img-fluid` class makes it easy. Apply it to any `<img>` element, and it will adjust to the viewport size, ensuring perfect scaling and consistent layouts across all devices and screen sizes.

## Image thumbnails
Thumbnail images add a polished and elegant touch to your webpage's appearance. Bootstrap's `img-thumbnail` class provides rounded corners and subtle borders to ensure a clean and uniform look.

## Image shapes
Why settle for boring rectangular images when you can add a dash of personality? Bootstrap offers classes for shaping images, including:
- `rounded`: Soften the edges with rounded corners for a gentle touch;
- `rounded-circle`: Embrace the circle of life with perfectly rounded images;
- `rounded-pill`: Take things up a notch with pill-shaped images for a sleek and modern look.
