Hello! I the option to swipe images in the image slider is very subtle - a user only gets to see the number of images at the beginning when loading the images. Most users oversee that and don’t realize the images are swipeable.

I think the UX can be much improved by for example showing the classic arrows on the edges of the image, or the (also classic) dots at the bottom.

Anyone know, is there a limit to the number of images you can have in an image carousel or just what number you permit by setting up the column for each?

My be this will help until Glide releases the feature: create a text component with “-\>” or “…”and place it under image carousel. Make it’s visiblity dependent upon second image in the array. I remember using “swipe left” footnote under the carousel in the past.

For a better UX/UI could change as we slide each image

100% @Lucas_Pires. I think that’s what you meant even though the dots look animated @Robert_Petitto?

@deena tried hundred but it gets really slow and might crash. But that is understandable as the size can get very large as “one image”

@deena search for image carousel- I made quite a few comments on that

Actually I can see I tried 540 images in one carousel

And here is a way to indicate multiple images in a carousel. But would love to see a native solution

> [@Image carousel - indication of mutiple images](https://community.glideapps.com/t/image-carousel-indication-of-mutiple-images/10391):
>
> Url: [https://imagecarouselv2.glideapp.io/](https://imagecarouselv2.glideapp.io/) [image] The image carousel functionality has changed so the image number overlay disappears after approx 2 seconds. That doesn’t work for me as the user might not see the number overlay - and thereby not realize that the image is actualy part of an image carousel - resulting in the user not using the image carousel. In the app there has been put an indicator in the button of the screen so the user can see that there are more images to se…

Have you considered making a gif and uploading it to 3/4th array column?

@deena found the post about lots of images in an image carousel.

> [@Image carousel - limitation in number is images](https://community.glideapps.com/t/image-carousel-limitation-in-number-is-images/13110):

> @mark is there a limitation in how many images that can be put in an image carousel? I have 540 images in a carousel. In the builder the image caravan appear though slowly. In app on iPhone 11pro iOS 13.5.1 the app reloads itself and I have also seen total crash of app on load (if the image carousel is on the first tab) The app is Pro Images are around 150kb each So the total size of the image carousel is probably around 80MB I thought of putting a few thousands of images into a carousel bu…
