The API documentation of the CardMedia React component. Learn more about the props and the CSS customization points.

Import

import CardMedia from '@material-ui/core/CardMedia';
// or
import { CardMedia } from '@material-ui/core';

You can learn more about the difference by reading this guide.

Component name

The MuiCardMedia name can be used for providing default props or style overrides at the theme level.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		The content of the component.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
component	elementType	'div'	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a HTML element or a component.
image	string		Image to be displayed as a background image. Either image or src prop must be specified. Note that caller must specify height otherwise the image will not be visible.
src	string		An alias for image property. Available only with media components. Media components: video, audio, picture, iframe, img.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.

Any other props supplied will be provided to the root element (native element).

CSS

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	.MuiCardMedia-root	Styles applied to the root element.
media	.MuiCardMedia-media	Styles applied to the root element if component="video, audio, picture, iframe, or img".
img	.MuiCardMedia-img	Styles applied to the root element if component="picture or img".

You can override the style of the component thanks to one of these customization points:

• With a rule name of the classes object prop.
• With a global class name.
• With a theme and an overrides property.

If that's not sufficient, you can check the implementation of the component for more detail.
