To improve the image quality on your Webflow website's tab with different image containment for features such as "topic," "Trends," and "Discovery," follow these steps:

  1. Check the original image quality:
  • Ensure that the original images you are using are of high quality and resolution. Low-quality images will appear blurry regardless of how they are displayed on your website.
  1. Choose the appropriate image contain property:
  • In Webflow, the image containment property controls how an image is displayed within its container. If the images appear blurry when using the "contain" property, try using the "cover" property instead. This will resize and crop the image while maintaining its aspect ratio.
  1. Adjust the image size:
  • If the images continue to appear blurry, you may need to adjust their size to match the container's dimensions. For example, if the container is set to 500px by 500px, make sure the image is also 500px by 500px or larger. Uploading an image that is significantly smaller than the container will result in poor image quality.
  1. Optimize the image format:
  • Consider using an optimized file format such as JPEG or WEBP. These formats are more suitable for photographs and can reduce file size without compromising image quality. Use image editing software or online tools to compress and optimize your images before uploading them to Webflow.
  1. Enable Automatic Image Optimization in Webflow:
  • Webflow has a built-in feature called Automatic Image Optimization. You can enable it in your project settings to automatically optimize and serve images in the most efficient format, depending on the user's browser. This can help improve the image quality and load times on your website.
  1. Test on different devices and browsers:
  • After applying these changes, make sure to preview and test your website on different devices and browsers to ensure that the image quality is consistent across all platforms.

By following these steps, you should be able to improve the image quality on your Webflow website's tab and eliminate the appearance of blurry images.
