# Tiles

> Use the tiles component to display visual previews with image thumbnails, titles, and descriptions in a responsive grid layout for your docs.

Use tiles to create visual showcase elements with a patterned background, title, and description. Tiles are ideal for displaying component previews, feature highlights, or navigation items in a grid layout.

<img src="../img/site-assets/mintcdn.com/mintlify/8-kCumOvxmVVfIgw/images/tiles/placeholder-light-e28zw1.png" alt="Tile preview placeholder">

```mdx Tile example theme={null}
<Tile href="/your-link" title="Tile title" description="Short description">
  <img src="/images/your-preview-light.svg" alt="Tile preview" className="block dark:hidden" />
  <img src="/images/your-preview-dark.svg" alt="Tile preview (dark mode)" className="hidden dark:block" />
</Tile>
```

Tiles can contain any image, SVG, or other React node that you want to display in the preview area. Provide separate light and dark mode assets using the `block dark:hidden` and `hidden dark:block` utility classes so the preview matches the active theme.

The tile preview area is a fixed-height, responsive container.

- **Aspect ratio**: Use a 16:9 or 4:3 landscape ratio.
- **Dimensions**: Design for at least 800×450 pixels.
- **Format**: Prefer SVG for illustrations, UI mockups, and diagrams. Use WebP or PNG for photographs and screenshots.
- **File size**: Keep each asset under 200 KB to preserve page load performance, especially in multi-tile grids.
- **Padding**: Include any surrounding padding in the asset. The tile does not add internal margin around the child image.

## Grid layout

Combine tiles with the [columns component](/guides/components-columns) to create a responsive grid of visual previews.
