There could be several reasons why an image in Webflow is resizing to a thumbnail size. Here are some common causes and solutions:

CSS Styling: Check if there is any CSS styling applied to the image or its parent elements that could be affecting its size. Look for properties like "height," "width," or "max-width" that may be limiting the size of the image.
Responsive Settings: Webflow provides responsive settings that allow you to control how images behave on different devices and screen sizes. Ensure that the responsive settings for the image are properly configured. Check if the "Width" and "Height" fields are set to "Auto" to allow the image to resize proportionally.
Interaction or Animation: If you have added any interactions or animations to the image, they might be affecting its size. Review the interactions panel to see if any properties are causing the image to shrink. Adjust or remove any conflicting interactions.
Image Source or File: Verify that the image file itself is not the issue. Check that the image source is correct and that the file is not corrupt or improperly formatted. If necessary, re-upload the image to ensure it is not the cause of the resizing problem.
Element Hierarchy: Verify the element hierarchy and positioning of the image and its parent elements. If the image is nested within another element that has a fixed size or layout constraints, it may be causing the thumbnail effect. Adjust the hierarchy or positioning to allow the image to display at its intended size.
Webflow Bugs or Glitches: In rare cases, the issue may be caused by a bug or glitch in the Webflow platform itself. Check the Webflow community forum or contact their support team to see if others have experienced similar issues and if there are any known workarounds or fixes.

Considering these possible causes and solutions should help you identify why your image is resizing to a thumbnail size in Webflow and allow you to resolve the issue accordingly.
