# Mobile slider width

 * Hello, I have two sliders, one on my homepage and the other inside the link I
   attached. The problem is that on mobile the images do not get resized and you
   only see a quarter of the image, the size of the screen. If you try to slide 
   and change image then you see the whole image going through the screen and then
   it goes to the next slide. I tried enabling Limit Slide Width for mobile and 
   the Global breakpoints but nothing works. Any suggestion?
 * Thank you for your time

 * Hi [@wantedstarling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wantedstarling/)
 * Is it possible that you disabled the Downscale option at your slider at Slider
   settings > Size tab > under Layout: Boxed?
    [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1775-boxed-layout](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1775-boxed-layout)
 * Your slider looks like it doesn’t get smaller at all, and turning off the Downscale
   option does just that. So if it’s disabled, I recommend turning it back on.

 * Hello, this solved the problem for the attached page where I have selected Boxed
   but on the home page the slider is Full Width and this option is missing. Something
   I can do there?
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@wantedstarling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wantedstarling/)
 * I checked the slider on your home page and that does get smaller with the browser
   size fine.
 * The issue you’re probably seeing is that it’s based on the “Slide background 
   image fill” option: [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1809-slider-settings-slides](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1809-slider-settings-slides)
   
   how your images look like in the slider. By default the “fill” option is used
   which will make the image as big as it needs to be to cover the whole slider.
   This means that if the slider and image ratios differ, the image will be cropped.
 * To avoid this behavior you could change the fill mode to “fit” or “blur fit” 
   instead or use images which have the same size as your slider’s size: [https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1774-slider-settings-size](https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1774-slider-settings-size)
 * The first image in your slider is 1920x780px. On a 375px wide mobile your slider
   is 375x270px. To make the 1920x780px image fit into your slider without cropping,
   it would need to have 152px height. Since the height is bigger and you use the“
   Fit” fill mode the slider needs to scale the image to cover the slider, and that
   is why the crop happens.
 * You should either change the slider size or the Slide background image fill value
   to avoid the cropping.
