Bootstrap Carousels Examples 2024

Change Bootstrap Carousel Navigation Icons
Bootstrap 4
This demonstrates how you can swap out the default SVG icons used in Bootstrap carousels. I swapped out the left and right arrows with some of the new Bootstrap Icons.
Carousel with auto height background images
Bootstrap 4
If you add a carousel into a column grid it naturally scales the height to fit the height of the slide images. What if you want the height of the carousel to match the height of the other columns? In this demo, I swapped out the image tag for a div with a background image. This will then give us control in how things are scaled.
Crossfade Carousel Instead of Slide Left
Bootstrap 4
This demonstrates how using the .carousel-fade class changes the slide translation to crossfade instead of slide. Official documentation.
Full Width Carousel with Responsive Images
Bootstrap 4
The carousel code snippet provided on the Bootstrap 4 documentation has the class .img-fluid which would require you to use large images that scale down to mobile. This can make your pages load slower than needed.

Using the responsive <picture> tag you can load different pictures for different screen sizes and pixel densities. Achieving optimal page load speed and design control.

If you need IE browser support use this picturefill script.

If a picture looks blurry on a retina device, you can add a high resolution image version like this
```
<source srcset="img/blog-post-1000x600-2.jpg, blog-post-1000x600-2@2x.jpg 2x" media="(min-width: 768px)">
```
What image sizes should you use? You will often want to use common aspect ratios found in video media. I created a demo to show what these different sizes look like.
Bootstrap 4 Image Slider Responsive
Bootstrap 4
A basic image slider with previous and next navigation. You can easily swap out the navigation text with icons for a simplified design. Adding .w-xs-100 to your images forces the component to expand to the width of its parent container.

Bootstrap 3
