Yes, there are a few steps you can take to fix the issue with image-containing layers not displaying properly on mobile screens in Webflow:

  1. Check the image size: Make sure that the images you are using are optimized for the web and are not too large. Large images can cause performance issues and may not load properly on mobile devices. Use image optimization tools to reduce the file size of your images before uploading them to Webflow.

  2. Use responsive design: Webflow makes it easy to create responsive designs that adapt to different screen sizes. Ensure that your image-containing layers have the correct width and height settings for mobile screens. You can adjust these settings under the "Styles" panel in the Webflow Designer.

  3. Consider image placement: Sometimes, the issue may be with the placement of the image-containing layers. If the layers are placed within a container or a section that has a fixed width, they may not display properly on mobile screens. Instead, try positioning the layers relative to the parent container or section, allowing them to adjust their size based on the screen width.

  4. Use the correct image element: Webflow provides different image elements that you can use, such as "Image" and "Background Image". Make sure you are using the appropriate image element for your specific needs. The "Image" element is recommended for images that are part of the content, while the "Background Image" element is suitable for decorative or background images.

  5. Test on different devices: It's essential to test your website on various mobile devices to ensure that the image-containing layers display correctly. Webflow provides a built-in device preview feature that allows you to switch between different device views while designing or previewing your site. Make use of this feature to identify any issues and make necessary adjustments.

By following these steps, you can troubleshoot and fix the issue of image-containing layers not displaying properly on mobile screens in Webflow. Remember to test your changes regularly to ensure that the issue is resolved and your website looks great on all devices.
