Overview
Carousels don’t automatically normalize slide dimensions. You may need to use additional utilities to appropriate function.
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.
Code Example
<div id="carouselExampleSlidesOnly" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel"> <div class="carousel-inner"> <div class="carousel-item active"> <img src="#" class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="#" class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="#" 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".
Code Example
<div id="carouselExampleControls" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel"> <div class="carousel-inner"> <div class="carousel-item active"> <img src="#" class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="#" class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="#" 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.
Code Example
<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="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." 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.
Code Example
<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="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block"> <h5>First slide label</h5> <p>Some representative placeholder content for the first slide.</p> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block"> <h5>Second slide label</h5> <p>Some representative placeholder content for the second slide.</p> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block"> <h5>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>
Crossfade
Add .carousel-fade to your carousel to animate slides with a fade transition instead of a slide.
Code Example
<div id="carouselExampleFade" class="carousel slide carousel-fade" data-bs-ride="carousel"> <div class="carousel-inner"> <div class="carousel-item active"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." 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>
Individual .carousel-item interval
Add data-bs-interval="" to a .carousel-item to change the amount of time to delay between automatically cycling to the next item.
Code Example
<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="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item" data-bs-interval="2000"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> </div> <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleInterval" 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="#carouselExampleInterval" data-bs-slide="next"> <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span> <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span> </button> </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.
Code Example
<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="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." 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.
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.
Code Example
<div id="carouselExampleDark" class="carousel carousel-dark slide" data-bs-ride="carousel"> <div class="carousel-indicators"> <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleDark" data-bs-slide-to="0" class="active" aria-current="true" aria-label="Slide 1"></button> <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleDark" data-bs-slide-to="1" aria-label="Slide 2"></button> <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleDark" data-bs-slide-to="2" aria-label="Slide 3"></button> </div> <div class="carousel-inner"> <div class="carousel-item active" data-bs-interval="10000"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block"> <h5>First slide label</h5> <p>Some representative placeholder content for the first slide.</p> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item" data-bs-interval="2000"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block"> <h5>Second slide label</h5> <p>Some representative placeholder content for the second slide.</p> </div> </div> <div class="carousel-item"> <img src="..." class="d-block w-100" alt="..."> <div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block"> <h5>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="#carouselExampleDark" 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="#carouselExampleDark" data-bs-slide="next"> <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span> <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span> </button> </div>
