Carousel

A slideshow component for cycling through elements—images or slides of text—like a carousel.

Example

Carousels don’t automatically normalize slide dimensions. As such, you may need to use additional utilities or custom styles to appropriately size content. While carousels support previous/next controls and indicators, they’re not explicitly required. Add and customize as you see fit.

The .active class needs to be added to one of the slides otherwise the carousel will not be visible. Also be sure to set a unique id on the .carousel for optional controls, especially if you’re using multiple carousels on a single page. Control and indicator elements must have a data-bs-target attribute (or href for links) that matches the id of the .carousel element.

Slides only

Here’s a carousel with slides only. Note the presence of the .d-block and .w-100 on carousel images to prevent browser default image alignment.

              
  <div id="carouselExampleSlidesOnly" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
    <div class="carousel-inner">
      <div class="carousel-item active">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/10-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/9-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/7-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

With controls

Adding in the previous and next controls. We recommend using <button> elements, but you can also use <a> elements with role="button".

              
  <div id="carouselExampleControls" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
    <div class="carousel-inner">
      <div class="carousel-item active">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/10-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/9-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/7-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
    </div>
    <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleControls" data-bs-slide="prev">
      <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
      <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
    </button>
    <button class="carousel-control-next" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleControls" data-bs-slide="next">
      <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
      <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
    </button>
  </div>

With indicators

You can also add the indicators to the carousel, alongside the controls, too.

              
  <div id="carouselExampleIndicators" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
    <div class="carousel-indicators">
      <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="0" class="active" aria-current="true" aria-label="Slide 1"></button>
      <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="1" aria-label="Slide 2"></button>
      <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="2" aria-label="Slide 3"></button>
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-inner">
      <div class="carousel-item active">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/10-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/9-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/8-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
    </div>
    <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide="prev">
      <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
      <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
    </button>
    <button class="carousel-control-next" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide="next">
      <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
      <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
    </button>
  </div>

With captions

Add captions to your slides easily with the .carousel-caption element within any .carousel-item. They can be easily hidden on smaller viewports, as shown below, with optional display utilities. We hide them initially with .d-none and bring them back on medium-sized devices with .d-md-block.

First slide label

Some representative placeholder content for the first slide.

Second slide label

Some representative placeholder content for the second slide.

Third slide label

Some representative placeholder content for the third slide.

              
  <div id="carouselExampleCaptions" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
    <div class="carousel-indicators">
      <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide-to="0" class="active" aria-current="true" aria-label="Slide 1"></button>
      <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide-to="1" aria-label="Slide 2"></button>
      <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide-to="2" aria-label="Slide 3"></button>
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-inner">
      <div class="carousel-item active">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/10-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
        <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block">
          <h5 class="text-white">First slide label</h5>
          <p>Some representative placeholder content for the first slide.</p>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/3-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
        <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block">
          <h5 class="text-white">Second slide label</h5>
          <p>Some representative placeholder content for the second slide.</p>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/4-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
        <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block">
          <h5 class="text-white">Third slide label</h5>
          <p>Some representative placeholder content for the third slide.</p>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide="prev">
      <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
      <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
    </button>
    <button class="carousel-control-next" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide="next">
      <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
      <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
    </button>
  </div>

Fade transition

Add .carousel-fade to your carousel to animate slides with a fade transition instead of a slide.

              
  <div id="carouselExampleFade" class="carousel slide carousel-fade" data-bs-ride="carousel">
    <div class="carousel-inner">
      <div class="carousel-item active">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/10-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/9-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-item">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/8-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
      </div>
    </div>
    <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleFade" data-bs-slide="prev">
      <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
      <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
    </button>
    <button class="carousel-control-next" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleFade" data-bs-slide="next">
      <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
      <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
    </button>
  </div>

Dark variant

Add .carousel-dark to the .carousel for darker controls, indicators, and captions. Controls have been inverted from their default white fill with the filter CSS property. Captions and controls have additional Sass variables that customize the color and background-color.

First slide label

Some representative placeholder content for the first slide.

Second slide label

Some representative placeholder content for the second slide.

Third slide label

Some representative placeholder content for the third slide.

              
  <div id="carouselExampleFade" class="carousel slide carousel-fade" data-bs-ride="carousel">
    <div class="carousel-inner">
      <div class="carousel-item active">
        <img src="../../assets/images/content/10-800x600.jpeg" class="d-block w-100" alt="">
