Is there a way we can get more control over image sizing within the post?? I would love more control over placement as well, but the sizing issue is a big one. Its a guessing game whether my images will be small and proportional, or humongous. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for it and it takes me forever to size them.
Hi Ella,
please refer to this article for recommended images sizes on the New Wix Blog: https://support.wix.com/en/article/recommended-image-sizes-for-the-new-wix-blog
Could you please elaborate and tell the specific example when you have struggles with getting the required image size? Thanks!
Hi Simona,
Here's some examples - I can't come up with a specific example but if it happens without in the next week or so, I'll take a screen shot and post it here.
1- If I use the grid layout and set it to 2 images per row or 1 image per row so it is vertical, the images are HUGE.
2- If I use the image left or image right setting, the images are quite large. I use this setting to make the images smaller... but it doesn't always work. Sometimes they are huge, then I resize the image to make it smaller, but the image left or image right setting makes it even larger. I would love some control over size here.
3- If I use the image left or image right setting (which I do frequently), it does not translate to the mobile friendly version. The images end up being all the way at the edge of the screen, they should be centered.
4- I would love to be able to edit my mobile friendly blog post layouts/image layouts- I actually turned off the mobile friendly version of my site because of this! The blog posts look really unprofessional and awful in the mobile version. and I'm gearing my browser website for mobile/tablets too. Its so annoying.
What I would like to see - is the ability to scale the images within the blog post. You know in adobe suite, you hit scale and then can drag the corners to size the image? That's what I want to see.
P.S. That article provides zero guidance... less than 1000x1000 for all of the different layout options? I think you need to be more specific.
Hi Simona - please see the attached image. This is screen shot I took while working on a post today. When I put an image on the right I want it to be the size of the red square. But there is no way to control that, or know what size the image will actually be when I use this layout feature. It's incredibly annoying and hard to format my posts.
Hi Ella,
thank you so much for posting more details. We are planning to work on this, so your feedback is of great value!
