Today we are going to create an animated avatar stack widget with Tailwind CSS. This tutorial will show you how to create a widget that displays a stack of avatars that animates when you hover over them.
Avatar stacks are a visually appealing and interactive way to display a group of users or team members. This widget presents a stack of overlapping avatar images, which represent individual users. The primary feature of an avatar stack is its animation effect: when you hover over the stack, the avatars spread out or animate in a specified way, revealing more details about each user.
This type of widget is especially useful for compactly showcasing a list of people in a limited space while still allowing for interactivity and additional information to be revealed on hover. Avatar stacks can enhance the user experience by providing a clean, modern, and engaging way to represent groups of individuals in various contexts.

These use cases can enhance user experience by providing interactive and visually appealing ways to display groups of people.
Here’s an example of an avatar stack widget using Tailwind CSS:
The wrapper of the avatar stack widget is a flex container (flex
) that stacks the avatars vertically (-space-x-2
). This creates a visually appealing effect and ensures that the avatars are evenly spaced.
isolate
: This class ensures that the widget is positioned independently of other elements on the page.flex
: This class creates a flex container, allowing the avatars to stack vertically.-space-x-2
: This class adds horizontal spacing between the avatars, creating a more visually appealing effect. <div class="isolate flex -space-x-2 ">
<!--- Avatars go here -->
</div>
The avatars are represented by <img>
tags, which are used to display the individual users. Each avatar is a relatively positioned (relative
) image (inline-block
), with a size of 24 pixels (size-24
), rounded corners (rounded-full
), and an object cover (object-cover
). The ring-2
class adds a 2px border to the image, while the ring-white
class sets the border color to white.
relative
: This class ensures that the image is positioned relative to its parent container.inline-block
: This class sets the image to be displayed as an inline block element, allowing it to be positioned within the flex container.transition-all
: This class applies a transition effect to all CSS properties.duration-300
: This class sets the duration of the transition effect to 300 milliseconds.ease-in-out
: This class sets the easing function for the transition effect to ease in and out.hover:-translate-y-3
: This class applies a translation effect to the image when the user hovers over it.hover:scale-110
: This class applies a scaling effect to the image when the user hovers over it.Note: Classes that style the avatars are not included in the code example for brevity.
<img class="relative inline-block transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out hover:-translate-y-3 hover:scale-110" src="#_" alt="#_" />
Here’s the full markup for the avatar stack widget. This includes the wrapper, the avatars, and any additional styling or functionality you may want to add.
<div class="isolate flex -space-x-2 ">
<img class="relative inline-block size-24 rounded-full object-cover ring-2 ring-white transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out hover:-translate-y-3 hover:scale-110" src="#_" alt="#_" />

In this tutorial, we explored the concept of avatar stacks and how to create a visually appealing and interactive widget using Tailwind CSS. By combining the animation effect with the size and spacing of the avatars, you can create a dynamic and engaging way to display a list of users or team members. The code example provided in this tutorial serves as a starting point for further customization and styling, allowing you to create a unique and personalized avatar stack widget for your website or application.
Have a good day and hope you enoyed this tutorial!
