Image avatars
Use Bootstrap-styled React avatars to display user profile images in a circular format — ideal for representing user accounts and contacts.
import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarImage = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar src={'/assets/img/avatars/1.jpg'} />
<CAvatar src={'/assets/img/avatars/2.jpg'} />
<CAvatar src={'/assets/img/avatars/3.jpg'} />
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarImage = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar src={'/assets/img/avatars/1.jpg'} />
<CAvatar src={'/assets/img/avatars/2.jpg'} />
<CAvatar src={'/assets/img/avatars/3.jpg'} />
</>
)
}Letter avatars
Display user initials using letter-based avatars. A perfect fallback when images aren’t available, and still visually consistent with Bootstrap styling.
import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarLetter = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar color="primary" textColor="white">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary">CUI</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="warning" textColor="white">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarLetter = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar color="primary" textColor="white">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary">CUI</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="warning" textColor="white">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
}Icon avatars
Insert icons into avatars for representing roles, objects, or placeholder users. Supports vector icons with Bootstrap-friendly layout.
import React from 'react'

}Rounded avatars
Use the shape="rounded" prop to apply Bootstrap’s rounded corners to the avatar, giving it a subtle square-rounded appearance.
import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarRounded = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar color="primary" textColor="white" shape="rounded">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" shape="rounded">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="warning" textColor="white" shape="rounded">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarRounded = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar color="primary" textColor="white" shape="rounded">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" shape="rounded">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="warning" textColor="white" shape="rounded">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
}Square avatars
To make avatars fully square with no border radius, apply shape="rounded-0", matching Bootstrap’s rounded-0 utility style.
import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarSquare = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar color="primary" textColor="white" shape="rounded-0">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" shape="rounded-0">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="warning" textColor="white" shape="rounded-0">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarSquare = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar color="primary" textColor="white" shape="rounded-0">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" shape="rounded-0">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="warning" textColor="white" shape="rounded-0">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
}Sizes
Customize avatar size using the size prop. Available options include xl, lg, md, and sm, aligning with Bootstrap’s scalable design system.
import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarSizes = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar color="secondary" size="xl">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" size="lg">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" size="md">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary">CUI</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" size="sm">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarSizes = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar color="secondary" size="xl">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" size="lg">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" size="md">
CUI
</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary">CUI</CAvatar>
<CAvatar color="secondary" size="sm">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
}Avatars with status
Add a small status indicator (e.g. online, offline) to avatars using the status prop — useful for chat interfaces or user dashboards.
import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarWithStatus = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar src={'/assets/img/avatars/1.jpg'} status="success" />
<CAvatar color="secondary" status="danger">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
}import React from 'react'
import { CAvatar } from '@coreui/react'
export const AvatarWithStatus = () => {
return (
<>
<CAvatar src={'/assets/img/avatars/1.jpg'} status="success" />
<CAvatar color="secondary" status="danger">
CUI
</CAvatar>
</>
)
