Try panning these images on a touchscreen

touch-auto

touch-none

touch-pan-x

touch-pan-y

<div class="h-48 w-full touch-auto overflow-auto ...">  <img class="h-auto w-[150%] max-w-none" src="..." /></div><div class="h-48 w-full touch-none overflow-auto ...">  <img class="h-auto w-[150%] max-w-none" src="..." /></div><div class="h-48 w-full touch-pan-x overflow-auto ...">  <img class="h-auto w-[150%] max-w-none" src="..." /></div><div class="h-48 w-full touch-pan-y overflow-auto ...">  <img class="h-auto w-[150%] max-w-none" src="..." /></div>

Responsive design

Prefix a touch-action utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="touch-pan-x md:touch-auto ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
