I'm using the Swiper script to show a slider with a mix of landscape and portrait photos on a site and I was wondering if it's possible to set a specific max height so all images have the same height respecting their aspect ratio. I know that there is a height parameter on Swiper but I tried it but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Also, I tried to set a max-height on the .swiper-wrapper class or the images inside it .swiper-slide > img but the images are either clipped or distorted.

Any ideas?

Thanks

var swiper = new Swiper( '.swiper-container', {
    initialSlide: 0, 
    loop: true,
    autoHeight: true,
    height: 200,
    autoplay: {
        delay: 3000,
        disableOnInteraction: false,
    },
    navigation: {
        nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
        prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',
    },
});

  • have you tried to set the image property with min-height ?

The easiest solution would be adding height: auto to the swiper-slider and height: 100% to the content inside.

const swiper = new Swiper('.swiper', {
  // Optional parameters
  direction: 'horizontal',
  slidesPerView: "auto",
   centeredSlides: true,

  // If we need pagination
  pagination: {
    el: '.swiper-pagination',
  },

  // Navigation arrows
  navigation: {
    nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
    prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',
  },

  // And if we need scrollbar
  scrollbar: {
    el: '.swiper-scrollbar',
  },
});
.swiper {
  width: 600px;
  height: 100%;
}

.swiper-slide {
background-color: grey;
height: auto !important;
text-align: center;
}
.swiper-content {
height: 100% !important
}

  • You may need to add box-sizing in a recent versions of swiper .swiper-slide { box-sizing: border-box; } or inner wrap with padding and background may go out of borders
