How can I crop a large image within the Webflow editor without stretching or distorting the image?

To crop a large image within the Webflow editor without stretching or distorting it, you can follow these steps:

1. Select the image element you want to crop: In the Webflow editor, click on the image element that you want to edit. This will bring up the image settings in the right-hand panel.

2. Adjust the element size: To ensure that the cropped image fits properly, you may need to adjust the size of the image element. You can do this by either dragging the corners of the element or by setting specific width and height values in the element settings.

3. Enable overflow: By default, Webflow sets the overflow property of the image element to "auto," which allows the image to expand its container and potentially stretch or distort. To prevent this, you need to change the overflow property to "hidden" in the element settings. This ensures that the image will be contained within its element boundaries.

4. Position the image: If you want to crop a specific portion of the image, you can adjust its position within the element. In the Advanced section of the image settings, you'll find options to set the image position horizontally (left, center, right) and vertically (top, center, bottom). Play around with these settings until you achieve the desired cropping.

5. Save and preview: Once you are satisfied with the cropping and positioning of the image, save your changes and preview the page to see the result.

Keep in mind that cropping an image within the Webflow editor is limited to what you can achieve using CSS properties. If you need more complex cropping or editing capabilities, it's recommended to use image editing software like Photoshop or Canva to crop the image before uploading it to Webflow.
