# Avatar

An image with a fallback for representing the user.

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

<Avatar>
	<Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/150?img=48" />
	<Avatar.Fallback>SK</Avatar.Fallback>
</Avatar>

```

## Fallback

Use `<Avatar.Fallback>` to provide initials, icons, or a framework-specific image component.

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

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

```

## Filter

Avatars can implement [SVG Filters](/docs/guides/cookbook/svg-filters) using the image `class` attribute.

```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)]" />
	<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>

```
