[Resolved] pictures show up tiny

[Cynthia]

I’m using Abstract. In the second block I am trying to add a picture of my family. When I add it I use the dots on the image to expand horizontal and vertical to the size I want. However, once I hit publish and preview it, it is tiny. How do I get it to stay the size I want it to? Thank you!

Hi there,

can you share a link to the page where i can see the issue?

Hey there. My site is currently under construction. I will put a temporary log in below so you can see it. It is the second section of the homepage. You will see a little picture of my family holding hands. When I am in the editor for the container it looks the size I want it but once I view it live it is tiny. Thanks for the help!

The code is showing that the image uploaded is only 268 by 201px:

What does it say in the media library?

It says: 2304 by 1728 pixels in the media library

3 things to check:

– Make sure it’s not resized:

And you are selecting Full size for the image size:

– Remove the 40px padding on the GB Container block that holds the image block.

– Re-crop your original image to remove the excessive amount of padding all around it.

So I couldn’t really fix the picture I wanted so I ended up just using another one that worked for me. Thanks 🙂

No problem 🙂
