Cards is a type of [[Views|view]] you can use in [[Introduction to Bases|Bases]]. Select ![[lucide-layout-grid.svg#icon]] **Cards** from the view menu to display files as a gallery-like grid layout with optional cover images. ## Settings List view settings can be configured in [[Views#View settings|View settings]]. - Card size - Image property - Image fit - Image aspect ration ### Card size Defines the width of a card. ### Image property Cards support an optional cover image, which is [[Properties|property]] that's displayed as an image at the top of the card. The property can be any of the following: - A link to a local [[Attachments|attachment]] `"[[link/to/attachment.jpg]]"` - An external link (URL) - A hex color code (`#000000`) ### Image fit If you have an image property configured, this option will determine how the image should be displayed in the card. - **Cover:** The image fills the card's content box. If it does not fit, the image will be cropped. - **Contain:** The image is scaled until it fits within the card's content box. The image will not be cropped. ### Image aspect ratio The height of the cover image is determined by its aspect ratio. The default aspect ratio is 1:1 meaning all your images will be square. Adjust this option to make the image shorter or taller.
