How can I prevent random changes in size of the outer images within a div that is set to be centered within a horizontal flex in Webflow?

If outer images within a centered div inside a horizontal flex container are changing size unexpectedly, it's likely due to inconsistent sizing or flex settings. Here’s how to fix it:

1. Set a Fixed Size for Images

• Select the images and go to the Style panel.
• Set a fixed width and height (e.g., 200px x 200px) to prevent them from resizing dynamically.
• If images should maintain aspect ratio, use max-width: 100% and height: auto instead.

2. Disable Flex Shrinking and Growing

• Select the images inside the div.
• Under the Flex Child settings, set:
• Grow: 0 (prevents expansion).
• Shrink: 0 (prevents shrinking).
• Basis: Auto or a fixed value (e.g., 200px).

3. Check Parent Div Sizing

• Ensure the centered div inside the flex container has a defined width or uses max-width to prevent its flexibility from affecting the images.
• Avoid width: auto if it's causing unpredictable behavior.

4. Adjust Image Display Mode

• Make sure images use Display: Block or Inline-Block inside their container.
• If images are inline elements, browser rendering may cause slight size shifts.

5. Ensure No Unexpected Margins or Padding

• Remove any unexpected margins, paddings, or percentage-based widths that may be causing size shifts.
• Use Developer Tools (F12) to inspect if extra space is affecting image sizes dynamically.

Summary

To prevent outer images from changing size inside a horizontally centered flex container, set a fixed width and height, disable flex-based growing/shrinking, and check for unintended margins or flex-based behavior. If the problem persists, inspect the images in Developer Tools for unexpected style overrides.
