Avatars

Avatars help customise various elements of a user interface and make the product experience more personalised. They are often used in communication apps, collaboration tools and social media.

Default markup

Use the avatar class to add an avatar to your interface design for greater customisation.

Avatar image

Set an image as the background to make users easy to indentify and create a personalised experience.

Initials

You can also use initials instead of pictures.

Avatar icons

Apart from pictures and initials, you can also use icons to make the avatars more universal.

</span>

Avatar status

Add a status indicator to your avatar to show, for instance, if a users is online or offline or indicate the number of messages they have received.

Avatar shape

Change the shape of an avatar with the default Bootstrap image classes. You can make them round or square and change their border radius.

Avatars list

Create a list of avatars within one parent container.

Stacked list

Make the list stack once a certain number of avatars is reached to make it look clear and display well regardless of the screen size.
