Portrait Photo being stretched
3 replies · Started by Sam on December 24, 2021
Hi,
When I upload a portrait photo to my blog, it seems as if the photo is being stretched to fit the container.However, if I put the images in a gallery or 2 columns it seems much better. Is there a way to fix this? I size my photos as 900px x 600px?
Thanks,
Sam
Hi there,
Is there a specific page where the issue can be seen?
This is what I'm seeing and it looks good:

Hi Leo,
It is throughout the blog pages. The images appear so large on desktop but fine for mobile. I came across this blog where their photos are 1440x1800 and they look good on desktop. I feel like my photos are being stretched to the content width maybe. The real pixel size should look smaller. I size the photos 900x600.
The blog I am attaching below has much larger images than how I size my photos, but yet they appear so much smaller and the quality of the photos look good. If I size my photos 1440x1800 they look huge! I want to size my photos by 1200px to have a better quality photo, but the photo looks giant and takes a while to scroll down.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Sam
Sorry is there a specific image you are referring to here?
I don't see any images being stretched.
There isn't a special setting to resize the image when the core image block is used as well as it is a static image and not a background image:

Do you get the same issue when using a Twenty series WP theme?
