You’ll need to share a screenshot of the problem. Also, what is the problem with the size? Is it too big, too small? What have you tried? ---

Try either contain or cover, depending on which behavior you want. ‘center’ gets you the middle of the image if it is bigger than the container you’re putting it into. ---

There are a lot of things that show differently on the designer (‘edit’), the web preview, and Thunkable Live. And things that aren’t identical between iOS and Android, despite that being a goal. My experience has been that the “live test” preview (not the preview button - different screen dimensions) is more likely to be what you’re going to get on a phone than the edit/designer view, but you should really do most of your previewing with Thunkable Live (and occasionally by downloading) if you don’t want surprises. Unless you’re building something that’s only going to be a web app, of course! ---
