Why are the images in my Webflow blog post appearing squashed or compressed?
There could be several reasons why the images in your Webflow blog post are appearing squashed or compressed. Here are some possible explanations and solutions to resolve this issue:
Incorrect image dimensions: If the dimensions of your images do not match the container or layout where they are placed, they may appear distorted. Make sure to resize your images to the correct dimensions before uploading them to Webflow.
CSS properties: Verify if any CSS properties are affecting the appearance of the images. Padding, margin, or object-fit properties can often cause images to appear compressed or squashed. Check the styles applied to the parent container or the image itself to ensure they are not interfering with the image display.
Responsive image settings: Webflow offers responsive image settings that allow you to define different image sizes for different screen sizes. If these settings are not configured correctly, the images may appear distorted. Double-check the responsive image options and adjust them as needed to ensure the images are displayed properly across various devices.
Image file format: Certain image file formats, such as JPEG, can result in compressed images with lower quality. Consider using alternative file formats like PNG or WebP, which generally offer better image quality with smaller file sizes. Additionally, check the image compression settings in Webflow to ensure they are not excessively compressing the images.
Browser caching issues: Sometimes, browser caching can cause images to appear distorted. To rule out this possibility, clear your browser cache or open your website in an incognito window to see if the issue persists.
Responsive layout constraints: If the container or layout you are using has fixed proportions, it may be restricting the image dimensions and causing them to look squashed. Consider adjusting the layout or using a different container that allows for more flexibility.
By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to resolve the issue of squashed or compressed images in your Webflow blog post.
