How can I add a high resolution picture on the front page of my Webflow site that resizes automatically on different devices?

TL;DR
  • Upload a high-resolution, optimized image in Webflow and set its width to 100% with auto height for responsive scaling.
  • Adjust settings for each device breakpoint and enable lazy loading to improve performance.

To display a high-resolution image on your Webflow homepage that automatically resizes for all screen sizes, follow these steps.

1. Prepare a High-Resolution Image

  • Use a high-quality image (ideally 2x or larger than its largest display size).
  • Optimize the image for web using tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim.
  • Save it in JPG (for photos) or PNG/WebP (for graphics or transparency).

2. Upload the Image in Webflow

  • Open your Webflow Project and go to the Designer.
  • Select the section or container where you want the image.
  • Click the + Add panel (press "A") and add an Image element.
  • In the Element Settings panel, Upload your image or choose from CMS/assets.

3. Make the Image Responsive

  • With the image selected, go to the Style panel.
  • Set Width: 100% to make it scale with its parent container.
  • Leave Height: auto or unset to maintain aspect ratio.
  • To limit the image size on larger screens, set a Max Width (e.g., 1200px).

4. Use Webflow's Responsive Settings

  • Click the device icons (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile Landscape, Mobile Portrait).
  • In each view, make sure the image still fits well.
  • Adjust margins, paddings, and positioning if needed—Webflow allows custom styles per breakpoint.

5. Optional: Add Lazy Loading

  • Select the image, go to the Element Settings panel.
  • Turn on Lazy Load (set to Lazy under “Load” setting) for better performance.
  • This helps especially with high-resolution images.

Summary

Upload a high-res image, set its width to 100%, and ensure auto height for aspect ratio. Use Webflow's responsive views to fine-tune the design across devices, and turn on lazy loading to optimize performance.
