Sample image of the situation

I am building a portfolio with bootstrap and I have carousal on the top, but it is overflowing more which make it to scroll horizontally.

Carousal html

<div id="carouselExampleIndicators" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
      <ol class="carousel-indicators">
          <li data-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
          <li data-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-slide-to="1"></li>
          <li data-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-slide-to="2"></li>
          <li data-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-slide-to="3"></li>
      </ol>
      <div class="carousel-inner">
          <div class="carousel-item active">
              <img src="img/animewallpaper7.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
          </div>
          <div class="carousel-item">
              <img src="img/animewallpaper8.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
          </div>
          <div class="carousel-item">
              <img src="img/animewallpaper9.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
          </div>
          <div class="carousel-item">
              <img src="img/animewallpaper6.jpg" class="d-block w-100" alt="...">
          </div>
      </div>
      <a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carouselExampleIndicators" role="button" data-slide="prev">
          <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
          <span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
      </a>
      <a class="carousel-control-next" href="#carouselExampleIndicators" role="button" data-slide="next">
          <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
          <span class="sr-only">Next</span>
      </a>
  </div>

here is my css

/* Ensure the carousel spans the full width of its container */
.carousel {
    width: 100%;
    margin: 0 auto; /* Center the carousel within its container */
    
}

/* Remove extra padding and margin around the images */
.carousel-item img {
    width: 100%;  /* Ensures the image covers the full width of the item */
    height: 600px; /* Adjusts the height based on the width */
}

I need the carousal to be in the size of browser without overflowing and still be responsive as it is

  1. I am going to assume you are using the latest bootstrap, bootstrap 5. What you just need to do is to make every parent of the image is 100% in height starting from body and html.

    html,
    body {
      height: 100%;
      margin: 0;
      padding: 0;
    }
    .carousel {
      width: 100%;
      height: 100%;
    }
    
    .carousel-inner {
      height: 100%;
    }
    
    .carousel-item {
      height: 100%;
      background-image: url("https://placehold.co/600x400");
      background-size: cover;
      background-position: center;
      background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap/5.3.3/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <div id="carouselExampleIndicators" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
      <ol class="carousel-indicators">
        <li data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
        <li data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="1"></li>
        <li data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="2"></li>
        <li data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="3"></li>
      </ol>
      <div class="carousel-inner">

        <div class="carousel-item">

        <div class="carousel-item">

        <div class="carousel-item">

      </div>
      <a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carouselExampleIndicators" role="button" data-bs-slide="prev">
        <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
        <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
      </a>
      <a class="carousel-control-next" href="#carouselExampleIndicators" role="button" data-bs-slide="next">
        <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
        <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
      </a>
    </div>

  2. This is a short answer, but I hope it can be useful.

    Your question doesn’t show this, but from my experience this can happen when you place your full-width carousel inside of a container.

    Carousels already have the proper container inside the item div, so they don’t need to be nested in a container.
