To make a button in Webflow automatically adapt to the format and size of the text without setting a fixed size, you can use the following steps:

  1. Select the button element: Click on the button element on your Webflow canvas or in the element tree panel.

  2. Adjust the padding: In the Style panel, go to the Size section. By default, the padding values might be set to a fixed size. Change the padding values to 0 on all sides. This will remove any space between the text and the button's edges.

  3. Set the width and height to auto: Still in the Size section of the Style panel, set both the width and height values to "Auto." This will allow the button to expand or shrink based on the size of the text it contains.

  4. Enable text block to wrap: By default, text inside the button will be in a single line. To make it wrap if it exceeds the button's width, go to the Typography section of the Style panel and check the "Wrap" option.

  5. Adjust the alignment: In the Alignment section of the Style panel, you can fine-tune the alignment of the text within the button. Make sure it is centered vertically and horizontally if desired.

With these steps, your button will automatically adjust its size and format based on the content within it, ensuring a seamless and responsive design.

Note: It's always a good practice to preview your changes in different viewport sizes and devices to ensure that the button adapts well in all scenarios.
