## Best for

A bordered pill of 4 small photos split by background borders, with a plain +3 text tally

## Agent notes

- The stack skips `AvatarGroup` and its count part, so the +3 is plain text you must compute yourself

## When not to use

- A count chip that matches the photo size and ring, built from the group parts: use [Group With Count](https://reui.io/components/avatar/c-avatar-11.md) (`get_example("c-avatar-11")`)

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/c-avatar-25
```

## About Shadcn Avatar

### When to use

- Profile photos with initials or a user icon that stand in when the picture is missing or fails
- Presence dots, verified marks and number badges pinned to the corners of a person's photo
- Overlapping team stacks, social proof rows and user chips inside buttons or account triggers

### When not to use

- An account panel opened from a trigger, with the name, email and grouped actions: use [Dropdown Menu](https://reui.io/components/dropdown-menu.md) (`get_component("dropdown-menu")`)
- A full account settings page where a person edits photo, name and details: use the [Profile blocks](https://reui.io/blocks/application/profile.md)
- A workspace members directory with roles, invites and access status: use the [Users blocks](https://reui.io/blocks/solutions/users.md)

### Agent notes

- Initials inside `AvatarFallback` are typed by hand in every example; derive them from each person's name rather than copying the sample letters
- A square `Avatar` needs the same radius on `AvatarImage`, `AvatarFallback` and its after pseudo element border, since all 3 default to round
