Get Bootstrap Jumbotron of full width and without rounded corners

To get a jumbotron of full width and without rounded corners, use the .jumbotron class outside all .container classes and instead add a .container within. This approach makes the jumbotron span the entire viewport width while keeping the content properly centered.

Default vs Full-Width Jumbotron

When you place .jumbotron inside a container, it has rounded corners and limited width. Placing it outside removes these constraints:

Placement Width Rounded Corners Use Case
Inside .container Limited Yes Card-like appearance
Outside .container Full viewport No Hero sections, landing pages

Example

Here's how to implement a full-width jumbotron without rounded corners:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <title>Bootstrap Full-Width Jumbotron</title>
      <link href = "/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel = "stylesheet">
      <script src = "/scripts/jquery.min.js"></script>
      <script src = "/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
   </head>
   <body>
      <div class = "jumbotron">
         <div class = "container">
            <h1>Welcome to Our Landing Page!</h1>
            <p>This jumbotron spans the full width of the viewport without rounded corners.</p>
            <p>
               <a class = "btn btn-primary btn-lg" role = "button">
                  Get Started
               </a>
            </p>
         </div>
      </div>
      
      <div class = "container">
         <h2>Regular Content</h2>
         <p>This content is within a normal container for comparison.</p>
      </div>
   </body>
</html>

Structure Breakdown

The key structure is:

<div class="jumbotron">        <!-- Outside container for full width -->
   <div class="container">     <!-- Inner container for content alignment -->
      <h1>Title</h1>
      <p>Content</p>
   </div>
</div>

CSS Behind the Scenes

When .jumbotron is outside .container, Bootstrap applies these styles:

  • width: 100% (full viewport width)
  • border-radius: 0 (no rounded corners)
  • margin: No side margins

The inner .container ensures content remains centered and readable on all screen sizes.

Conclusion

Place .jumbotron outside .container for full-width hero sections. The inner container keeps content properly aligned while the jumbotron spans the entire viewport without rounded corners.
