Usage

usage.tsx

import { AvatarGroup } from "@/components/ui/avatar-group";<AvatarGroup size={40} max={4}>  <div className="bg-blue-500" aria-label="Alex" />  <div className="bg-green-500" aria-label="Sam" />  <div className="bg-orange-500" aria-label="Taylor" />  <div className="bg-purple-500" aria-label="Jordan" />  <div className="bg-pink-500" aria-label="Morgan" /></AvatarGroup>

Use for participant lists, team members, collaborators, or social profile summaries.
Use when showing many avatars in limited space and summarizing hidden members with max and renderOverflow.
Use horizontal or vertical stacking when the surrounding layout benefits from a compact directional group.
Use reverse or RTL configurations when the visual stacking order needs to change.

Examples

Participant avatars with an overflow count

Shows the first avatars and replaces the remaining items with the default +N indicator.

participant-avatars-with-an-overflow-count.tsx

import { AvatarGroup } from "@/components/ui/avatar-group";<AvatarGroup max={5} size={36}>  <img src="/avatars/alex.jpg" alt="Alex" />  <img src="/avatars/sam.jpg" alt="Sam" />  <img src="/avatars/taylor.jpg" alt="Taylor" />  <img src="/avatars/jordan.jpg" alt="Jordan" />  <img src="/avatars/morgan.jpg" alt="Morgan" />  <img src="/avatars/riley.jpg" alt="Riley" /></AvatarGroup>

Custom overflow content

Uses renderOverflow to replace the default overflow badge.

custom-overflow-content.tsx

import { AvatarGroup } from "@/components/ui/avatar-group";<AvatarGroup  max={4}  renderOverflow={(count) => (    <div className="flex size-full items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-slate-900 text-xs font-semibold text-white">      {count} more    </div>  )}>  <img src="/avatars/alex.jpg" alt="Alex" />  <img src="/avatars/sam.jpg" alt="Sam" />  <img src="/avatars/taylor.jpg" alt="Taylor" />  <img src="/avatars/jordan.jpg" alt="Jordan" />  <img src="/avatars/morgan.jpg" alt="Morgan" /></AvatarGroup>

Vertical right-to-left group

Creates a vertically stacked group with RTL ordering and reversed masking.

vertical-right-to-left-group.tsx

import { AvatarGroup } from "@/components/ui/avatar-group";<AvatarGroup orientation="vertical" dir="rtl" reverse size={48}>  <img src="/avatars/alex.jpg" alt="Alex" />  <img src="/avatars/sam.jpg" alt="Sam" />  <img src="/avatars/taylor.jpg" alt="Taylor" /></AvatarGroup>

Using a custom root element

Uses asChild to merge the group behavior and classes onto a custom root element.

using-a-custom-root-element.tsx

import { AvatarGroup } from "@/components/ui/avatar-group";<AvatarGroup asChild aria-label="Project collaborators">  <ul>    <li><img src="/avatars/alex.jpg" alt="Alex" /></li>    <li><img src="/avatars/sam.jpg" alt="Sam" /></li>    <li><img src="/avatars/taylor.jpg" alt="Taylor" /></li>  </ul></AvatarGroup>

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription

orientation"horizontal" | "vertical""horizontal"Controls the stacking direction and applies the corresponding overlap mask.

dir"ltr" | "rtl""ltr"Controls directional layout and overlap behavior. This is a component variant prop, not the native HTML dir attribute.

sizenumber40Sets the width and height in pixels for every group item and is used to calculate its mask gradient.

maxnumber—Limits the rendered item count. When the number of valid React element children exceeds max, the component renders max - 1 children plus one overflow item.

asChildboolean—When true, renders the root through Radix Slot so its props and classes are merged onto the child element.

reversebooleanfalseReverses the item masking and changes the visual stacking direction.

renderOverflow(count: number) => React.ReactNode—Provides custom content for the overflow item. The count is the number of hidden children.

classNamestring—Additional classes merged onto the root element.

childrenReact.ReactNode—Child content. Only valid React elements are included in the group.

...rootPropsReact.ComponentProps<"div"> excluding "dir"—All standard div props, including id, style, data attributes, event handlers, and ARIA attributes, except the native dir prop.
