To make two images fill the box they are inside without stretching, you can use CSS properties and techniques in Webflow. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

  1. Ensure that the box containing the images has the desired width and height dimensions set. This can be done by adjusting the dimensions in the box's style settings.

  2. Wrap the images within a container element, such as a <div> or a <figure>. Make sure to give this container a class name for easy styling.

  3. Apply the following CSS properties to the container element using the Webflow Designer or custom code:

  • Set the container's display property to flex. This enables flexbox layout and helps with image alignment.
  • Use the justify-content and align-items properties to center the images both horizontally and vertically within the container. You can choose different values for these properties, such as center, flex-start, or flex-end, depending on your desired alignment.
  • Set the container's overflow property to hidden. This ensures that any excess image content doesn't overflow outside of the container.
  1. For each image within the container, apply the following CSS properties:
  • Set the image's object-fit property to cover. This property ensures that the image maintains its aspect ratio while filling the available space within the container.
  • Adjust the width and height properties of the image as needed to achieve the desired size within the container. You can set these dimensions as percentages or pixels, depending on your design requirements.

By following these steps and applying the appropriate CSS properties, you can make two images fill the box they are inside without stretching. This technique allows for responsive and visually appealing image display.
