To auto-adjust the height of sliders in Webflow based on the content inside each slide without using custom code, you’ll need to change default slider styles and structure. Webflow sliders are fixed-height by default, so here’s how to make them flexible.
1. Set Slider and Mask to Auto Height
- Select the Slider element.
- In the Style panel, set the Height to Auto.
- Select the Mask (the container that holds the slides), and also set its Height to Auto.
- Make sure Overflow is set to Visible on both the Slider and Mask.
2. Set Slides to Auto Height
- Select a Slide component inside your slider.
- Set its Display to Block.
- Set Height to Auto.
- Ensure Overflow is set to Visible to avoid clipping content.
3. Avoid Full Viewport Height or Flex Settings
- If any parent elements (like a containing Section or Div Block) are set to 100vh or have restrictive Flexbox constraints, they may override your auto-height settings.
- Make sure the parent containers also have Height: Auto and Overflow: Visible if needed.
4. Test with Varying Content Lengths
- Add different content to each slide (paragraphs, images, etc.) and switch slides in preview mode.
- The slider should now expand or contract based on the tallest content in the active slide.
5. Limit Slide Animation Effects
- If you've added interactions or animations that reference fixed sizes, they may conflict with auto layout behavior.
- Stick with simple transitions or Fade animations for best results with auto-height.
Summary
Set all slider components—Slider, Mask, and Slides—to Height: Auto with Overflow: Visible to allow slides to scale based on content. Remove fixed heights or full-height layouts to prevent constraints. No code needed.
