Feedback for “Carousal”

There is a bug with the Carousal component when using Image or ImageBackground components from react native the image is not visible

Hi @andrew-emil! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the react-native-reanimated-carousel team.

This issue is known and has a few common causes. If images or ImageBackground components aren't visible in the Carousel, check that you set both the width and height props on the Carousel—missing the height prop is a frequent cause and adding it usually resolves the problem (source). Also, make sure your import method matches your project setup (Expo vs React Native), as incorrect imports can prevent images from displaying (source).

Styling matters too: review your container and image styles, especially overflow, margin, and flex settings. Sometimes, animated views or transforms can interfere with image rendering (source). On Android, there's a known issue where images may not preload, causing white gaps during horizontal scrolling—this is a performance optimization but is acknowledged as visually problematic (source).

If you still have trouble, try setting explicit width and height on both the Carousel and the Image/ImageBackground, and ensure your styles allow the image to be visible (e.g., overflow: 'visible').

To reply, just mention @dosu.
