React Bootstrap 5 Avatar 

Responsive React Avatar built with Bootstrap 5. Examples of circle or square avatar, avatar in a card, inside the navbar, testimonial carousel, profile card & more.

Basic example

This is a basic example of a circle-shaped avatar. The roundness is achieved by adding the .rounded-circle class. You can experiment with different border radius to change the roundness of the image corners. Make sure to check out the Image documentation to learn more about image options and responsiveness.

        
             
      import React from "react";
      import { MDBContainer } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";

      function App() {
        return (
          <MDBContainer className="my-5 d-flex justify-content-center">
            <img
              src="https://mdbcdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/avatars/2.webp"
              className="rounded-circle"
              alt="Avatar"
            />
          </MDBContainer>
        );
      }

      export default App;
      
        
    

With shadows

Adding a shadow to your avatar will make it stand out. You can generate a custom shadow with our generator.

        
             
      import React from "react";
      import { MDBContainer } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";

      function App() {
        return (
          <MDBContainer className="my-5 d-flex justify-content-center">
            <img
              src="https://mdbcdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/avatars/1.webp"
              className="rounded-circle shadow-4"
              style={{ width: "150px" }}
              alt="Avatar"
            />
          </MDBContainer>
        );
      }

      export default App;
      
        
    

Square

The default image shape is rectangular. If you need your avatar to be a square you need to make sure that your source image is of equal width an height, or overwrite them with CSS. You can also make the corners slightly rounded, like in the example below, in order to create a smoother design.

Rounded corners are applied with the .rounded-3 class, you can use different roundness levels from our Border Radius docs, or even create a fancy, irregular border shape with our Fancy Shapes Generator.

        
             
      import React from "react";
      import { MDBContainer } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";

      function App() {
        return (
          <MDBContainer className="my-5 d-flex justify-content-center">
            <img
              src="https://mdbcdn.b-cdn.net/img/new/avatars/5.webp"
              className="rounded-3"
              style={{ width: "150px" }}
              alt="Avatar"
            />
          </MDBContainer>
        );
      }

      export default App;
      
        
    

With content

Add additional content to your avatar. The most common use case is adding name and surname along with a text description, but you can also use a variety of other elements like Badges, Buttons, Text Animations, Icons or even Flags that indicate the country of origin.

Inside the navbar

One of the most common design practices is to differentiate the navbar for a logged in user from a navbar for an unlogged user by embedding the avatar inside the navbar. Thanks to this approach, the user knows if he's signed in at first glance.

The example below also uses a Dropdown with a user profile menu.

Learn how to create your navbar from scratch in our Navbar docs.

        
             
      import React from "react";
      import {
        MDBNavbar,

      } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";
      
      function App() {
        return (
          <MDBNavbar expand="lg" light bgColor="light">
