How can I adjust the height of the slider in Webflow? The default height is not sufficient for my images, and I need to make them taller. Thank you for any assistance you can provide!
TL;DR
- Set custom heights for the Slider, Mask, and Slide elements in the Style panel.
- Ensure images are sized with Width: 100% and appropriate Object Fit settings, and adjust for responsiveness across breakpoints.
If the default Webflow slider is too short for your images, you need to manually adjust its height using the Style panel in the Designer.
1. Select the Slider Component
- Click on the Slider on your canvas to select it.
- In the Navigator Panel, confirm you are selecting the outermost
Sliderelement, not theSlideorMask.
2. Set a Custom Height
- In the Style panel, scroll to the Size section.
- Set the Height (e.g., 800px or 100vh) explicitly.
- Make sure Min Height and Max Height are adjusted if necessary, or leave them blank unless constrained by your layout.
3. Adjust the Mask Element
- Webflow sliders include a Mask div that clips overflowing content.
- Select the Mask inside the Slider and also set its Height to match the Slider (e.g., 800px).
- This ensures the images are not hidden or clipped by the Mask.
4. Resize the Slide and Image
- Select a Slide inside the slider.
- Set its Height to 100% so it stretches to match the Slider container.
- Then, select the Image inside the Slide and try the following:
- Set Width: 100%.
- Set Height: 100% or use Object Fit: Cover or Contain depending on your layout needs.
5. Test Responsiveness
- Switch to tablet and mobile views in the Responsive Preview.
- Adjust the height settings per breakpoint if needed, or use relative units like vh or % instead of fixed px.
Summary
To increase your Webflow slider’s height, set custom Height values for the Slider, Mask, and Slide elements. Ensure your images are styled to fill the space properly using Width: 100% and optionally Object Fit settings for clean scaling.
