Yes, Webflow can support pulling dynamic images from a collection and arranging them in a grid with varying widths. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Create a collection: Start by creating a collection in the Webflow Designer. Add a field of type "Image" to your collection. This field will hold the dynamic images that you want to display in the grid.

  2. Design your grid: In the Designer, create a grid layout where you want to display the dynamic images. You can use the built-in grid or flexbox elements to create the layout.

  3. Connect the collection: Select the grid element and go to the "Settings" panel on the right-hand side. Under the "Collection" section, choose the collection you created in step 1.

  4. Add an image element: Inside the grid item, add an image element to represent each dynamic image. You can style the image element to have varying widths, such as using percentage or fixed pixel values.

  5. Bind the image element: With the image element selected, go to the "Settings" panel again. Under the "Image" section, click on the "Bind to field" button and choose the image field from the collection.

  6. Style and layout: Customize the grid item layout and styling to your preference. You can adjust margins, paddings, and other properties to achieve the desired grid layout.

  7. Preview and publish: Finally, preview your website to see how the dynamic images will look in the grid. Make any necessary adjustments, and when you're ready, publish your site to make the dynamic image grid live.

By following these steps, you can easily pull dynamic images from a collection in Webflow and arrange them in a grid with varying widths. This allows for a dynamic and visually appealing display of images on your website.
