To create a slideshow that scrolls through pictures in Webflow, you can use the Slider component. The Slider component allows you to showcase multiple images in a responsive and interactive manner. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a slideshow in Webflow:

  1. Add a section to your Webflow project where you want the slideshow to appear. For example, you can add a Section element by dragging it from the Elements panel onto the canvas.

  2. Inside the section, add a Slider component. You can find the Slider component in the Add panel, under Components > Structure.

  3. Once the Slider component is added, you can customize its settings in the Slider settings panel. To access this panel, select the Slider component on the canvas and click on the Slider settings icon in the upper-right corner.

  4. In the Slider settings panel, you can configure various options for your slideshow. Here are a few important settings to consider:

  • Slider type: Choose between "Slide" and "Fading."

  • Autoplay: Enable or disable automatic sliding of images.

  • Arrows: Show or hide navigation arrows.

  • Pagination: Show or hide pagination dots.

  1. To add images to your slideshow, select the Slider component on the canvas and click on the Slide settings icon in the upper-left corner. This will open the Slide settings panel.

  2. In the Slide settings panel, you can add and manage individual slides. Click on the plus button to add a new slide, and then click on the image placeholder to select an image from your assets or upload a new one.

  3. Customize each slide as needed by adjusting its design settings, such as background color, overlay text, and more.

  4. To preview the slideshow, click the Preview button at the top of the Webflow Designer. This will allow you to see how the slideshow looks and behaves in the browser.

  5. Finally, publish your site to make the slideshow live on the web for everyone to see. Click on the Publish button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer, and follow the on-screen instructions.

By following these steps, you can easily create a slideshow that scrolls through pictures in Webflow. Remember to optimize your images for web and ensure that the slideshow is responsive and mobile-friendly to provide a seamless experience for your visitors.
