To prevent lines in a logo from scaling and getting thicker when the logo stretches on a Webflow page, you can take the following steps:

  1. Use a vector-based logo: Vector graphics are resolution-independent, meaning they won't lose quality when scaled up or down. Create or obtain a logo in a vector format such as SVG or EPS.

  2. Upload the logo in SVG format: Webflow supports SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format, which is ideal for logos. SVG files remain sharp and crisp at any size and won't have issues with lines scaling or getting thicker.

  3. Size your logo appropriately: When adding the logo to your Webflow page, make sure to size it according to your design specifications. Avoid stretching or distorting the logo beyond its intended aspect ratio, as this can lead to visual artifacts.

  4. Adjust the logo's width and height settings: In Webflow, select the logo element and access its style settings. Instead of using a fixed pixel value for width and height, use percentage values to allow the logo to scale proportionally with the container it resides in.

  5. Apply CSS styling to limit scaling: Use CSS styling to prevent the lines in your logo from scaling. You can accomplish this by applying the stroke-width property to the SVG path or line element in your logo, ensuring it remains constant regardless of scaling. Set the stroke-width value to a specific pixel size that you want to maintain for the lines and adjust as required.

  6. Test the responsiveness: Preview your Webflow page in different viewport sizes to ensure the logo remains visually consistent and the lines don't scale or appear thicker. Use the responsive design tools in Webflow to make any necessary adjustments.

Remember to save and publish your Webflow site after implementing these steps to have the changes reflect on the live version.

By following these steps, you can ensure that lines in your logo remain consistent and don't scale or get thicker when the logo stretches on a Webflow page.
