How can I change animations for different devices in Webflow, specifically for mobile? Also, how can I make elements smaller in phone portrait mode while using the same tags as in landscape mode?

To adjust animations and element sizes for mobile devices in Webflow, you need to work within its responsive and interaction settings.

​

1. Change Animations for Mobile Devices

​

• Webflow interactions (under the Interactions panel) apply across all breakpoints by default.
• To make an animation behave differently on mobile:
• Duplicate the animation in the Interactions panel.
• Apply the alternate version only to elements visible in mobile views (use visibility display settings in Style panel).
• Alternatively, set Custom Interactions based on mobile-only triggers (e.g., tap on mobile instead of hover).
• You can also use visibility rules to show different elements per device and apply unique animations to those elements.

​

2. Resize Elements for Phone Portrait Mode

​

• Use Webflow’s responsive breakpoints.
• Select the element and go to the Style panel.
• At the Phone Portrait breakpoint, adjust styles such as:
• Width, height, padding, margin
• Font size, line height, or scale transforms
• These changes only apply to that breakpoint and narrower, and they inherit from higher breakpoints unless overridden.

​

• There is no need to use different tags. Webflow styles are scoped per breakpoint, so you can use the same class or tag and simply update its properties on smaller devices.

​

Summary

​

To customize Webflow animations for mobile, duplicate interactions or use conditional visibility for device-specific behaviors. To resize elements in phone portrait, use responsive breakpoints and modify styles with the same tag or class—Webflow automatically scopes changes to the selected device size.
