Examples

Basic

A basic avatar component with an image and a fallback.

import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from "@/components/ui/avatar"

export function AvatarDemo() {
  return (
    <Avatar>
      <AvatarImage
        src="https://github.com/shadcn.png"
        alt="@shadcn"
        className="grayscale"
      />
      <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
    </Avatar>
  )
}

Badge

Use the AvatarBadge component to add a badge to the avatar. The badge is positioned at the bottom right of the avatar.

import {
  Avatar,
  AvatarBadge,
  AvatarFallback,
  AvatarImage,
} from "@/components/ui/avatar"

export function AvatarWithBadge() {
  return (
    <Avatar>
      <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />
      <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
      <AvatarBadge className="bg-green-600 dark:bg-green-800" />
    </Avatar>
  )
}

Use the className prop to add custom styles to the badge such as custom colors, sizes, etc.

  <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />

      <AvatarGroupCount>

Use the size prop to change the size of the avatar.

CNCNCN

export function AvatarSizeExample() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap items-center gap-2 grayscale">
      <Avatar size="sm">
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  DropdownMenu,
  DropdownMenuContent,
  DropdownMenuGroup,
  DropdownMenuItem,
  DropdownMenuSeparator,
  DropdownMenuTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/dropdown-menu"

export function AvatarDropdown() {
  return (
    <DropdownMenu>
      <DropdownMenuTrigger render={<Button variant="ghost" size="icon" className="rounded-full"><Avatar>
          <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="shadcn" />
          <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
        </Avatar></Button>} />
      <DropdownMenuContent className="w-32">
        <DropdownMenuGroup>
          <DropdownMenuItem>Profile</DropdownMenuItem>
          <DropdownMenuItem>Billing</DropdownMenuItem>
          <DropdownMenuItem>Settings</DropdownMenuItem>
