get carousel image at center with prev next sliders - html

Question

I'm following this example https://startbootstrap.com/snippets/half-slider/
I'm trying to get image smaller and center
I updated css to reduce size
min-height: 350px;
max-width: 900px;
But it's left bound and sliders icons are stuck to left and right
any pointers?

Answer 1

If i not mistaken what you are asking is make image smaller and center using the example you can do like this at css change this
#carouselExampleIndicators{
margin: auto;
min-height: 350px;
max-width: 900px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.carousel-item {
height: 65vh;
min-height: 350px;
background: no-repeat center center scroll;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}

Answer 2

The original example is setting image by using background-image property. If you want to change the width of the image without changing the width of the carousel, just use <img> tag to insert images and style those elements.
.carousel-item {
height: 65vh;
min-height: 350px;
background: no-repeat center center scroll;
}
.carousel-item>img{
max-width:900px;
height:100%;
margin:auto;
display:block;
}

Answer 3

This one solved my issue
#carouselExampleIndicators{
margin: auto;
min-height: 550px;
max-width: 900px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.carousel-item{
overflow: hidden; min-height: 550px; max-width: 900px; margin: 0 auto;
}
