To ensure that your images on your Lightbox gallery in Webflow are of high quality, follow these steps:

  1. Use high-resolution images: Start with high-resolution images in order to maintain their quality when they are displayed on your website. Webflow recommends using images that are at least 1200 pixels wide for optimal display on all devices.

  2. Optimize your images: To enhance loading speed and overall website performance, you should optimize your images. Choose the appropriate file format, such as JPEG for photographs or PNG for graphics with transparency, and compress the images without compromising quality. There are several online tools available for image compression, or you can use software like Adobe Photoshop to manually adjust the image settings.

  3. Consider image dimensions: It’s important to consider the dimensions of your images to ensure they fit well within your Lightbox gallery. In Webflow, the Lightbox opens images at their original size, so make sure your images are scaled appropriately before uploading them. This helps prevent any pixelation or distortion when your images are enlarged.

  4. Preview on different devices: Test your Lightbox gallery on various devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices, to ensure that the images look good and maintain their quality across different screen sizes.

  5. Use Retina images: To provide even higher quality images for viewers with Retina displays, consider using "Retina" or high-resolution versions of your images. Webflow allows you to upload both regular and Retina versions of your images, and it will automatically display the appropriate version based on the viewer's device.

Following these steps will help ensure that your images in the Lightbox gallery on Webflow are of high quality, enhancing the overall visual experience for your website visitors.
