# Avatar

An image with a fallback for representing the user.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { Avatar } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<div class="flex items-center gap-8">
	<!-- Small -->
	<Avatar class="size-10">
		<Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/40?img=48" alt="small" />
		<Avatar.Fallback>SK</Avatar.Fallback>
	</Avatar>
	<!-- Base -->
	<Avatar>
		<Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/60?img=48" alt="base" />
		<Avatar.Fallback>SK</Avatar.Fallback>
	</Avatar>
	<!-- Large -->
	<Avatar class="size-20">
		<Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/80?img=48" alt="large" />
		<Avatar.Fallback>SK</Avatar.Fallback>
	</Avatar>
</div>

```

## Fallback

Use a fallback when an image fails to load or is unavailable.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { Avatar } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<Avatar>
	<Avatar.Fallback>SK</Avatar.Fallback>
</Avatar>

```

## Filter

Apply [SVG Filters](/docs/\[framework]/guides/cookbook/svg-filters) to avatar images.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
	import { Avatar } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<Avatar>
	<Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/150?img=48" class="filter-[url(#apollo)]" alt="filtered" />
	<Avatar.Fallback>SK</Avatar.Fallback>
</Avatar>

<svg class="absolute -left-full w-0 h-0">
	<filter id="apollo" filterUnits="objectBoundingBox" primitiveUnits="userSpaceOnUse" color-interpolation-filters="sRGB">
		<feColorMatrix
			values="0.8 0.6 -0.4 0.1 0,
    0 1.2 0.05 0 0,
    0 -1 3 0.02 0,
    0 0 0 50 0"
			result="final"
			in="SourceGraphic"
		></feColorMatrix>
	</filter>
</svg>

```
