Web part name (as shown in web part properties) to which you’re suggesting an enhancement

News Center
What is current web part behavior (or look) that doesn’t work for you?

The photos from news posts are stretched in the web part.
> Have a screenshot (please do not include confidential info in your screenshots)?

What would you like the web part behavior (or look) to be?

We would like the photos to Fill the web part, not Fit the web part, similar to desktop backgrounds.
> Have a sketch or a mockup?

What is the scenario for which you need the suggested new look/behavior?

Our marketing team creates custom images to fit the news posts. These photos are being distorted within the web part, and we would like them to fill the web part instead for a more professional yet branded look. Stock images will not always work for every scenario/ news post.

Hi @kwilson , thank you for posting this.

This should already be possible unless we misunderstood.
Could you toggle this option in web part properties:

For comparison, here is how the image looks with that toggle off:

Yes, we tried that, however it makes the images all different sizes (like in the photo below). Our goal is to keep the size of the image the same, and simply fill that space with the image without stretching or distorting the images.

Thank you for visually clarifying that, we’ve added this to our queue.
