Navbar with icons

Bootstrap 5 Navbar with icons component

Responsive Navbar with icons built with Bootstrap 5. Various examples of navbar with icons, dropdown icons, icons with text and icons with notifications.

Basic examples

Choose from hundreds of our icons and simply add them to the navbar.

Note: We add .d-flex .flex-row classes to keep the icons inline when the navbar is collapsed. Without this, they will stack one under another.
