How can I resize an image in Webflow?

Resizing an image in Webflow can be done using style settings or by adjusting layout containers. Here's how to control image size effectively.

1. Use the Style Panel

• Select the Image Element on the canvas.
• Go to the Style panel (right sidebar).
• Under the Size section, set specific values for Width and/or Height.
• Choose units like PX, %, VW/VH, or EM for flexibility.
• Setting just Width will automatically maintain the image’s aspect ratio unless Height is also set.

2. Use CSS Classes

• Create or select an existing class for the image.
• Apply Width/Height styling to that class so the sizing is consistent across instances.
• For responsive images, use percentage widths or max-width (e.g., max-width: 100%).

3. Control via Parent Container

• Place your image in a Div Block or Grid to control layout.
• Set the container’s size, then set the image to fill or scale inside it with Width: 100% or Object Fit.
• Use Flexbox or Grid settings to align and constrain image behavior.

4. Prevent Image Distortion

• Ensure Aspect Ratio is maintained by only setting one dimension or by using object-fit: cover or contain where needed.
• Avoid forcing a fixed width and height unless you want to crop/stretch the image.

5. Optimize for Responsiveness

• Use Webflow’s breakpoints to define different image sizes/styles per screen width.
• Resize images per breakpoint by adjusting the Width/Height or switching visibility classes.

Summary

To resize an image in Webflow, use the Style Panel to manually set the Width/Height, apply sizing via CSS classes, and control layout using containers like Div Blocks or Grids. Always test responsiveness across breakpoints for best results.
