Avatar stack

Avatar stack stacks a collection of avatar elements

Avatar stack is under development. If you have feedback or suggestions, please report them on Github or in Slack.

Use avatar stack when

  • A group of people or entities should be displayed together, but space is limited.
  • You need to signal that multiple people are involved, without showing everyone at full size.

Avoid avatar stack when

  • There is only ever a single avatar to display.
  • Each person or entity must be clearly identifiable by name or role at the same time.

Examples

Customization

Avatar stack is designed to be flexible enough to cover many different needs and use cases.

Variants

Avatar stack supports both round and square variants, but only one variant per stack.

Indicating avatars not shown

When there are more avatars than can be displayed in the stack, there are two different ways to indicate this.

Avatars in avatar stack can have tooltips and be links, but be aware of accessibility considerations.

Guidelines

Avatar stack should be used with caution, as it can be challenging for users to identify individual avatars in a tightly packed stack. Ensure that the use of avatar stack makes sense in the context of the user experience and does not compromise accessibility or usability.

Text

Remember to provide context to screen readers about what the stack represents, for example "Meeting participants" or "Team members".
