--- title: Carousel description: A carousel is used to display multiple pieces of visual content without taking up too much space. Carousels eliminate the need to scroll down the page to see all content and are a popular method of displaying marketing information. bootstrapLink: components/carousel/ --- ## Default markup Use a carousel to make your website design more visually appealing for users. In the default carousel design, respective elements slide automatically and users can go to the next slide by clicking an arrow. ```html code example centered columns={2} height="35rem"

``` ## Dots indicators You can replace the standard indicators with dots. Just add the `carousel-indicators-dot` class to your carousel: ```html code example centered columns={2} height="35rem"

``` ## Thumb indicators The syntax is similar with thumbnails. Add class `carousel-indicators-thumb` and add `background-image` to element `[data-bs-target]`. Default thumbnails have an aspect ratio of 1:1. To change this use `ratio` utils. ```html example code centered columns={2} height="35rem"

``` ## Vertical indicators To make the indicators go to the right side, add the `carousel-indicators-vertical` class. You can combine it with other classes that are responsible for dots or thumbnails. ```html code example centered columns={2} height="35rem"

``` Likewise, you can add thumbnails on the right side: ```html code example centered columns={2} height="35rem"

``` ## Carousel with captions Add captions to your slides easily with the `.carousel-caption` element within any `.carousel-item`. To make the text more readable on the image you can add `carousel-caption-background` which will add a black overlay over the image. ```html code example centered columns={2} height="35rem"
