I'm having trouble making my carousel smaller and centering it on the page. How can I adjust it to be a more subtle feature on the page?

I'm having trouble adjusting the width and height of my images in the code. Whenever I set them to less than 100%, it messes up the layout and the images get cropped. I want them centered without taking up so much space.

I've resized all my images to around 500x500 or 500x660 to prevent stretching. But whenever I try to change the height and width in the code, it throws everything off. Should I switch from using a carousel to a gallery or cards? I just want everything to be centered on the page without taking up the entire space.

<style>
    body {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: auto;}
    .carousel-inner img{width: 100%; height: 100%; margin-top: 100px; margin-bottom: 100px}
</style>
</head>

To achieve a responsive image, consider using width: 100%; height: auto; for automatic scaling. Also, remember to customize the dimensions of your carousel for a seamless layout.
