How can I achieve full-width images like on Webflow's website?
TL;DR
- Place the image directly in a full-width Section with no max-width constraints and set the image’s width to 100% with display set to block.
- Use responsive settings to ensure full-width behavior across devices and consider using background images for added design flexibility.
To achieve full-width images like on Webflow’s website, you need to properly configure container settings, image width, and overflow behavior.
1. Use a Section That Spans the Full Width
- Drag a Section from the Add panel into your page.
- By default, Sections are full-width unless placed inside a limited-width wrapper.
- To confirm, set the Section’s Width to 100% and ensure Max Width is none or 100%.
2. Place the Image Directly Inside the Section
- Avoid placing the image inside a Container or other elements with max-width constraints.
- Drag the image element directly into the Section to bypass any restrictive layout.
3. Adjust Image Styling for Full-Width Display
- Select the image and set Width: 100% in the Style panel.
- Ensure Display is set to Block to prevent inline-element behavior that might restrict scaling.
- If needed, set Max Width to none to avoid limiting the size.
4. Use Webflow’s Responsive Settings
- Check Tablet and Mobile views to ensure the image maintains full width across device sizes.
- Adjust padding or margins on surrounding elements to maintain visual balance.
5. Optional: Use Background Images for More Control
- Apply a background image to a full-width Div or Section for better control over position, size (cover/contain), and responsive behavior.
- Set Background Size to Cover, Position to Center, and No Repeat for a hero-style look.
Summary
To create full-width images on Webflow like their site, place the image in a full-width Section, avoid Containers, set the image’s width to 100%, and adjust responsive styles. Consider using background images for enhanced visual control.
