Did you experience any issues with image distortion on Safari when you published your first site on Webflow?
When publishing a site on Webflow, some users have reported experiencing image distortion on Safari. This issue is often caused by a combination of factors related to image formatting, compression, and browser rendering. Here are a few things you can do to minimize or resolve image distortion on Safari:
Optimize image size: Large image files can cause rendering issues on Safari, so it's crucial to optimize the size of your images before uploading them to Webflow. You can use tools like Photoshop, Squoosh, or TinyPNG to reduce the file size without compromising quality.
Use appropriate image formats: Different image formats work better for different types of images. JPEG is best for photographs, while PNG is ideal for graphics with transparency. Make sure to use the appropriate format for each image to ensure optimal rendering on Safari.
Check image resolution: High-resolution images can slow down loading times and may cause distortion. Ensure that your images have an appropriate resolution for the web. Aiming for a resolution of 72 DPI (dots per inch) is generally recommended.
Avoid excessive compression: While it's important to compress images to reduce file size, excessive compression can degrade image quality and lead to distortion. Experiment with different compression levels to find the right balance between file size and image quality.
Clear Safari cache: Sometimes, Safari may display distorted images due to cached versions of the site. Clearing the browser cache can help resolve this. In Safari, go to the Preferences menu, select the Privacy tab, and click on "Manage Website Data." Search for your site and remove the cached data.
Test on multiple devices: It's important to test your site on various devices running Safari to ensure consistent image rendering. Elements like Retina displays or different screen resolutions may affect how images appear. Use Webflow's built-in preview tools or ask friends and colleagues to view your site on different Safari devices to catch any potential distortion issues.
Remember that image distortion may not be limited to just Webflow or Safari, as it can also be influenced by other factors like internet speed, device capabilities, and browser settings. Regularly checking and optimizing your images can help prevent or minimize these issues.
