  • Use as a reference for showing multiple users in a compact horizontal avatar group.
  • Use when the number of avatars should be capped with a visible overflow count.
  • Use to customize the overflow indicator with branded colors, badges, or gradients.

Examples

Default overflow

Limit the group to four visible avatars and use the component's built-in overflow indicator.

default-overflow.tsx
import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from "@/components/ui/avatar";import { AvatarGroup } from "@/components/ui/avatar-group";<AvatarGroup max={4}>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="shadcn" />    <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/ethanniser.png" alt="Ethan Niser" />    <AvatarFallback>EN</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/rauchg.png" alt="Guillermo Rauch" />    <AvatarFallback>GR</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/leerob.png" alt="Lee Robinson" />    <AvatarFallback>LR</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar></AvatarGroup>

Badge overflow

Replace the default overflow indicator with a dashed badge containing the number of hidden avatars.

badge-overflow.tsx
import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from "@/components/ui/avatar";import { AvatarGroup } from "@/components/ui/avatar-group";<AvatarGroup  max={4}  renderOverflow={(count) => (    <div className="flex size-full items-center justify-center rounded-full border-2 border-dashed border-primary bg-primary/10 text-xs font-semibold text-primary">      {count}+    </div>  )}>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="shadcn" />    <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/ethanniser.png" alt="Ethan Niser" />    <AvatarFallback>EN</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/rauchg.png" alt="Guillermo Rauch" />    <AvatarFallback>GR</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/leerob.png" alt="Lee Robinson" />    <AvatarFallback>LR</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/evilrabbit.png" alt="Evil Rabbit" />    <AvatarFallback>ER</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar></AvatarGroup>

Gradient overflow

Use a smaller maximum and a colorful gradient circle for the hidden-avatar count.

gradient-overflow.tsx
import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from "@/components/ui/avatar";import { AvatarGroup } from "@/components/ui/avatar-group";<AvatarGroup  max={3}  renderOverflow={(count) => (    <div className="flex size-full items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-linear-to-br from-purple-500 to-pink-500 text-xs font-bold text-white">      +{count}    </div>  )}>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="shadcn" />    <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/ethanniser.png" alt="Ethan Niser" />    <AvatarFallback>EN</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/rauchg.png" alt="Guillermo Rauch" />    <AvatarFallback>GR</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar>  <Avatar>    <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/leerob.png" alt="Lee Robinson" />    <AvatarFallback>LR</AvatarFallback>  </Avatar></AvatarGroup>

Accessibility

  • The registry example does not provide alt text to AvatarImage; add a meaningful alt value for identifiable people, or use an empty alt value when the image is purely decorative.
  • AvatarFallback supplies initials when an image cannot be loaded, but it should not be relied on as the only accessible name for an avatar.
  • The example uses h3 headings to label each variation; preserve an appropriate heading hierarchy when embedding it.
  • Custom overflow content is visual text only in the example. Add an accessible label or supporting text if the overflow indicator needs to communicate the hidden-avatar count to assistive technology.
  • The overflow indicators are non-interactive; make them interactive only when they open a user list or other action, and provide an appropriate accessible name.
