Carousel

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

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.

HTML

  <!-- Slides only -->
<div id="carouselExampleSlidesOnly" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
  <div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="carousel-item active">
        <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-1.jpg" class="d-block w-100 " alt="...">
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-item">

    <div class="carousel-item">
      <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-1.jpg" class="d-block w-100 " alt="...">
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

With Control

Adding in the previous and next controls:

  </div>
  <a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carouselExampleControls" role="button" data-bs-slide="prev">
    <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
  </a>
  <a class="carousel-control-next" href="#carouselExampleControls" role="button" data-bs-slide="next">
    <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
  </a>
</div>

With indicators

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

 <!-- With Indicators -->
<div id="carouselExampleIndicators" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
  <ol class="carousel-indicators">
    <li data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
    <li data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="1"></li>
    <li data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="2"></li>
  </ol>
  <div class="carousel-inner">

    <div class="carousel-item">
      <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-3.jpg" class="d-block w-100 " alt="...">

  </div>
  <a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carouselExampleIndicators" role="button" data-bs-slide="prev">
    <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
  </a>
  <a class="carousel-control-next" href="#carouselExampleIndicators" role="button" data-bs-slide="next">
    <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
  </a>
</div>

With caption

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.

Design
HTML

First slide label

Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue mollis interdum.

Second slide label

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Third slide label

Praesent commodo cursus magna, vel scelerisque nisl consectetur.

 <!-- With Captions -->
 <div class="bd-example">
  <div id="carouselExampleCaptions" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
    <ol class="carousel-indicators">
      <li data-bs-target="#carouselExampleCaptions" data-bs-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>

Crossfade

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

Design
HTML

<!-- Crossfade -->
 <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/blog/blogpost-1.jpg" class="d-block w-100 " alt="...">
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-item">
      <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-2.jpg" class="d-block w-100 " alt="...">
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-item">
      <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-3.jpg" class="d-block w-100 " alt="...">
    </div>
  </div>
  <a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carouselExampleFade" role="button" data-bs-slide="prev">
    <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
  </a>
  <a class="carousel-control-next" href="#carouselExampleFade" role="button" data-bs-slide="next">
    <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
  </a>
</div>

Individual

Add data-bs-interval="" to a .carousel-item to change the amount of time to delay between automatically cycling to the next item.

Design
HTML

  <!-- Individual -->
 <div id="carouselExampleInterval" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
  <div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="carousel-item active" data-bs-interval="10000">
      <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-1.jpg" class="d-block w-100 " alt="...">
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-item" data-bs-interval="2000">
      <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-2.jpg" class="d-block w-100 " alt="...">
    </div>
    <div class="carousel-item">
      <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-3.jpg" class="d-block w-100 " alt="...">
    </div>
  </div>
  <a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carouselExampleInterval" role="button" data-bs-slide="prev">
    <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
  </a>
  <a class="carousel-control-next" href="#carouselExampleInterval" role="button" data-bs-slide="next">
    <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
    <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
  </a>
</div>

Disable touch swiping

Carousels support swiping left/right on touchscreen devices to move between slides. This can be disabled using the data-bs-touch attribute. The example below also does not include the data-bs-ride attribute and has data-bs-interval="false" so it doesn’t autoplay.

Design
HTML

 <!-- Disable touch swiping -->
<div id="carouselExampleControlsNoTouching" class="carousel slide" data-bs-touch="false" data-bs-interval="false">
 <div class="carousel-inner">
   <div class="carousel-item active">
     <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-1.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
   </div>
   <div class="carousel-item">
     <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-1.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
   </div>
   <div class="carousel-item">
     <img src="../assets/images/blog/blogpost-1.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
   </div>
 </div>
 <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleControlsNoTouching" 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="#carouselExampleControlsNoTouching" 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.

Design
HTML

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.
