Why are the images on my website stretched on mobile devices after replacing the source image in Webflow?

If the images on your website are appearing stretched on mobile devices after replacing the source image in Webflow, there could be a few reasons for this issue. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

1. Aspect Ratio: The new image you added might have a different aspect ratio compared to the original image. When this happens, the image can appear stretched or squished to fit the container it's placed in. To fix this, you should maintain the original aspect ratio of the image. You can do this by adjusting the width or height of the image while keeping the "Constrain Proportions" option enabled. This ensures that the image maintains the correct aspect ratio.

2. Container Size: Check the size of the containers that hold the images on your website. If the containers have fixed widths or heights that are not responsive, the image might get stretched to fit the container size on different devices. To resolve this, make sure you use responsive containers that adjust their size based on the device's screen width. You can set the container width to be a percentage value or use CSS flexbox or grid to create flexible layouts.

3. CSS Styles: Examine the CSS styles applied to the image or its parent elements. If there are any CSS rules forcing the image to stretch or forcing a fixed width or height, it can cause stretching on mobile devices. Make sure you don't have any CSS rules that explicitly set the width or height of the image or its container to fixed values. Instead, use CSS rules that allow the image to scale proportionally, such as max-width: 100% or object-fit: contain.

4. Retina Images: If your website uses high-resolution or retina images, it's possible that the new image you added might have a different resolution or pixel density compared to the original image. Retina images are typically double the size of regular images, so make sure you correctly replace the image with its retina version. You can also check if there are any media queries or CSS rules specifically targeting retina screens that might be affecting the image rendering.

By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to prevent the images from appearing stretched on mobile devices after replacing the source image in Webflow. Remember to preview your changes on different devices and screen sizes to ensure that the images are displayed properly across all platforms.
