There could be several reasons why the images in the distorted portion of your webpage are randomly resizing themselves in the Webflow editor and on the live page. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. CSS or HTML Issues: Check if there are any CSS rules or inline styles that are interfering with the image sizes. Look for any conflicting width or height declarations, as well as any CSS affecting the parent containers or divs that contain the images. Make sure the images have their dimensions specified correctly.

  2. Responsive Design Settings: Webflow allows you to create responsive designs, where elements adapt to different screen sizes. It's possible that the images are resizing due to the responsive design settings in your project. Go to the responsive settings panel (under the "Layout" tab) and make sure the image elements are set to the desired behavior for different screen sizes.

  3. Device-specific issues: It's possible that the images are resizing differently on different devices or browser types due to specific device or browser-related issues. Test your webpage on different devices and browsers to see if the issue persists. If it does, you may need to apply device-specific styles or use a CSS media query to address the issue.

  4. Scripts or Interactions: If you have any custom scripts or interactions applied to the images or their parent elements, they could be causing the random resizing behavior. Review your custom code and ensure it doesn't conflict with the desired image sizes. Disable any scripts or interactions temporarily to see if the issue is resolved.

  5. Image Optimization: Large image file sizes or improperly optimized images can sometimes cause unexpected resizing issues. Make sure your images are properly resized and optimized for web usage. Use image compression tools or Webflow's image optimization features to reduce file sizes without compromising quality.

  6. Content Management System (CMS) Issues: If you are using Webflow's CMS features, it's possible that the content or image data in the CMS entry is causing the random resizing behavior. Double-check the content entries and fix any inconsistencies or issues with the image data.

By investigating these possible causes and applying the appropriate solutions, you should be able to diagnose and fix the random image resizing issue in the Webflow editor and on the live page.
