When you encounter an issue with image assets in Webflow, it can sometimes be challenging to determine whether it is a bug or a mistake in the process. However, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and identify the root cause of the issue:

  1. Review the image upload process: Double-check the steps you took to upload the image into Webflow. Ensure that the image was properly selected and uploaded to the correct location. If you used the drag-and-drop functionality, verify that the image was dropped into the intended asset folder.

  2. Check image formats and file sizes: Ensure that the image format is supported by Webflow (e.g., JPG, PNG, GIF). Additionally, check if the image file size is within the recommended limits. Large file sizes can lead to issues with image loading and rendering.

  3. Inspect image settings: Verify the image settings within Webflow to ensure they align with your requirements. Check the alt text, width, height, and layout settings to confirm that they are configured correctly.

  4. Test image display in different browsers: Sometimes, an issue may arise due to browser compatibility. Test your website and images in different web browsers to see if the issue is consistent across all platforms or limited to a specific browser.

  5. Check for conflicting interactions or custom code: Review any interactions or custom code you have added to the site. These elements can sometimes interfere with the proper display of images. Temporarily disable any interactions or custom code related to images and check if the issue persists.

  6. Reach out to Webflow support: If you have gone through the above steps and are still experiencing issues, the next step is to reach out to Webflow support. Provide them with a detailed description of the issue, along with screenshots and any relevant information. They can help troubleshoot and determine if it is a bug that needs to be addressed.

In conclusion, by thoroughly reviewing the image upload process, checking image formats and settings, testing in different browsers, inspecting interactions and custom code, and reaching out to Webflow support when needed, you should be able to determine whether the issue with image assets in Webflow is a bug or a mistake in the process.
