In web design, a carousel is a slideshow feature that displays multiple items, such as images or news updates, in a rotating fashion on a website’s homepage or other pages.

Users can often manually flip through the carousel items using navigation arrows or buttons, though some carousels rotate automatically.

Carousels are popular for showcasing featured content, promotions, or portfolio pieces in a compact, visually engaging way.
