Why is the main blog post image still blurry despite having the correct pixel size and max width settings in Webflow?

There could be several reasons why the main blog post image is still blurry despite having the correct pixel size and max width settings in Webflow. Here are a few potential causes and solutions:

  1. Image Resolution: Ensure that the image you are uploading has a high resolution. Low-resolution images will appear blurry on high-resolution screens. If the original image is not of sufficient quality, resizing it in Webflow will not improve its clarity.

  2. Compression: Webflow automatically compresses images when they are uploaded to optimize page speed. However, excessive compression can result in a loss of image quality. To fix this, you can try manually compressing the image using third-party image compression tools before uploading it to Webflow.

  3. CSS Filters or Effects: Check if there are any CSS filters or effects applied to the image. These effects can sometimes distort the image or cause blurriness. If any filters or effects are present, try removing or adjusting them to see if it improves the image quality.

  4. CSS Scaling: Check if there is any CSS scaling applied to the image container. Scaling an image can cause it to appear blurry. Make sure the scaling values are set to 100% or remove the scaling properties altogether.

  5. Retina Displays: If the blog post image is viewed on a high-density "Retina" display, it may appear blurry if it doesn't have a "Retina-ready" version. To ensure crispness on Retina screens, you should upload an image with double the pixel density and use custom code to display the appropriate version based on the user's screen resolution.

  6. Browser Cache: Sometimes, outdated images may be stored in the browser cache, causing them to appear blurry even after updates. Clearing the browser cache and refreshing the page can often resolve this issue.

By troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to resolve the issue of a blurry main blog post image in Webflow.
