How it works

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.).

Note: Please be aware that nested carousels are not supported, and carousels are generally not compliant with accessibility standards.

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 MDBCarouselItem.

You can also add the indicators to the carousel, alongside the controls, too.

With captions

Add captions to your slides easily with the MDBCarouselCaption element within any MDBCarouselItem. They can be easily hidden on smaller viewports, as shown below, with optional display utilities. We hide them initially with .d-none and bring them back on medium-sized devices with .d-md-block.

Crossfade

Add fade property to your carousel to animate slides with a fade transition instead of a slide.
