How to make images responsive in Bubble.io?

Understanding Image Responsiveness in Bubble.io Step 1: Image Element Basics

Open your Bubble.io application, navigate to the Design tab.
Drag and drop the Image element onto your page where you want it to appear.
Upload or link the image you want to use.

Step 2: Setting Image Element's Size

Click on the Image element to select it.
In the Property Editor, set the width and height of the image to percentage values rather than fixed pixel values. For example, set Width to 100% to allow the image to scale according to its container.

Step 3: Responsive Settings

After setting the image dimensions, click on the Responsive tab in the Bubble editor.
You will see your page structure in this tab. Click on the image element to adjust its responsive settings.
Check the option "Keep element proportions as the page is resized" to maintain the aspect ratio of your image.

Step 4: Grouping Elements

It’s often useful to place your image inside a Group element. This ensures the image scales relative to its container.
Select the image and click the "Group elements in a group" button in the toolbar or right-click and choose Group elements in container a group.
Adjust the group’s responsive settings to suit your design needs. You may set the group’s width to be a certain percentage of its parent container.

Step 5: Preview and Test

Navigate back to the Design tab and click the Preview button to see your changes in real-time.
Resize your browser window to make sure the image responds appropriately to different screen sizes.
Make any necessary adjustments back in the Responsive tab until you are satisfied with how the image scales and positions in different screen sizes.

Step 6: Additional CSS (Optional)

If you are familiar with CSS, you can further style the image for responsiveness.
Use the HTML and CSS elements in Bubble.io to add any custom styles you need, such as max-width or min-width properties.
Go back to the Design tab and insert an HTML element where you need additional CSS.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

If the image does not appear responsive, double-check the width settings in the Property Editor and ensure it's set to a percentage.
Ensure that the "Keep element proportions as the page is resized" setting is enabled in the Responsive tab.
Make sure that the parent container (e.g., Group) is also set to a responsive width if applicable.
