How can I resize an image in Webflow?

To resize an image in Webflow, you can adjust its dimensions directly in the Designer using layout settings or style properties. Here's how to do it effectively:

1. Select the Image Element

• Click on the image either on the canvas or in the Navigator panel.
• Make sure the image is not set to “Background Image” unless that’s your intention, as resizing background images is handled differently.

2. Use the Style Panel to Control Size

• Go to the Style panel (right sidebar).
• Under the Size section, you’ll see options for Width and Height.
• Set exact pixel values (e.g., 300px) or use percentages (e.g., 50%) for responsive behavior.
• You can also use VW/VH units for viewport-based sizing.

3. Maintain Aspect Ratio (Optional)

• If you only set Width, the image will scale proportionally as long as the Height is left on "Auto."
• To lock aspect ratio, leave one of the dimensions (typically height) as Auto.

4. Use Max and Min Constraints (Optional)

• Set Max Width or Max Height to ensure the image doesn’t exceed a certain size on large screens.
• Use Min Width or Min Height for maintaining legibility on small screens.

5. Make Responsive Adjustments

• Switch to Tablet, Mobile Landscape, and Mobile Portrait views.
• Adjust image sizing within each breakpoint to ensure it behaves well across devices.

6. Alternately Use Flexbox or Grid for Automatic Resizing

• If the image is inside a Flex or Grid layout, it may resize automatically based on container size.
• Set the image’s Width to 100% so it fills the parent element and resizes responsively.

Summary

To resize an image in Webflow, select the image and define its Width and Height in the Style panel, using fixed units or responsive percentages. Adjust settings per breakpoint and use layout tools like Flex or Grid for automatic responsiveness.
