Carousels

A slideshow component for cycling through elements—images or slides of text—like a carousel.

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.

Dark variant

Add variant="dark" to the Carousel for darker controls, indicators, and captions.

Heads up!

Dark variants for components were deprecated in Bootstrap v5.3.0 with the introduction of color modes. Instead of adding variant="dark", set data-bs-theme="dark" on the root element, a parent wrapper, or the component itself.
