# Bootstrap 5 Carousel A Bootstrap slideshow component for cycling through elements (images or slides of text) like a carousel. > This feature is only available in **AdminKit PRO**. [Learn more](/pricing/). ## Example Carousels don't automatically normalize slide dimensions. As such, you may need to use additional utilities or custom styles to appropriately size content. While carousels support previous/next controls and indicators, they're not explicitly required. Add and customize as you see fit. **The `.active` class needs to be added to one of the slides** otherwise the carousel will not be visible. Also be sure to set a unique `id` on the `.carousel` for optional controls, especially if you're using multiple carousels on a single page. Control and indicator elements must have a `data-bs-target` attribute (or `href` for links) that matches the `id` of the `.carousel` element. ### 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. ```html ``` ### With controls Adding in the previous and next controls. We recommend using ` ``` ### With indicators You can also add the indicators to the carousel, alongside the controls, too. ```html ``` ### With captions Add captions to your slides with the `.carousel-caption` element within any `.carousel-item`. They can be hidden on smaller viewports, as shown below, with optional [display utilities](/docs/utilities/display/). We hide them initially with `.d-none` and bring them back on medium-sized devices with `.d-md-block`. ```html ``` ### Crossfade Add `.carousel-fade` to your carousel to animate slides with a fade transition instead of a slide. ```html ``` ### 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. ```html ``` ### 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. ```html ``` ## Custom transition The transition duration of `.carousel-item` can be changed with the `$carousel-transition-duration` Sass variable before compiling or custom styles if you're using the compiled CSS. If multiple transitions are applied, make sure the transform transition is defined first (eg. `transition: transform 2s ease, opacity .5s ease-out`). ## About The carousel is a slideshow for cycling through a series of content, built with CSS 3D transforms and a bit of JavaScript. It works with a series of images, text, or custom markup. It also includes support for previous/next controls and indicators. In browsers where the Page Visibility API is supported, the carousel will avoid sliding when the webpage is not visible to the user (such as when the browser tab is inactive, the browser window is minimized, etc.). Nested carousels are not supported. You should also be aware that carousels in general can often cause usability and accessibility challenges. --- Canonical HTML page: https://adminkit.io/docs/components/carousel/ Site overview for agents: https://adminkit.io/llms.txt (expanded: https://adminkit.io/llms-full.txt) · Documentation: https://adminkit.io/docs/ · Questions: support@adminkit.io
