What is causing the issue with the CMS images getting scaled down and then back up in Webflow?
When CMS images in Webflow are getting scaled down and then back up, there could be multiple factors causing this issue. Here are a few possible causes and solutions to consider:
Image dimensions: Ensure that the original images have appropriate dimensions and resolution before uploading them to Webflow. Large images will automatically be scaled down by Webflow to fit the dimensions set in the design. If the CMS images are already small, they might appear pixelated when scaled up.
Container sizing: Check if the container element holding the CMS images has fixed dimensions or is set to a percentage width. If the container has a fixed width, it may cause the images to be scaled down to fit within the container, resulting in a loss of quality. Consider using a responsive container or setting appropriate min-width and max-width properties to maintain image quality.
Image settings: Verify that the image settings within the CMS collection are configured properly. Go to the CMS Collection Editor, select the field containing the image, and ensure it is set to "Original Image" rather than a predefined size. Selecting "Original Image" ensures that the uploaded images will be displayed in their original dimensions.
Image display properties: Check the sizing properties applied to the image elements within the Webflow designer. If the images are set to "fit" or "contain," they might appear scaled down. Update these properties to "auto" or "100% width/height" as needed to maintain the original image dimensions.
Image compression settings: In some cases, aggressive image compression settings can lead to loss of quality. Visit the Project Settings in Webflow and under the "Assets" tab, adjust the image compression settings to a higher quality level. This can help maintain the image quality when they are rendered on the website.
Remember to publish the changes after making any adjustments to ensure that the updated settings take effect on the live site.
Overall, by considering these potential causes and implementing the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue with CMS images getting scaled down and then back up in Webflow.
