  • Can you please post some of your code? It might make it easier to assist you. Also i'd suggest you rework your HTML, i would not make the background image part of the header. It's going to give you issues cutting off when expanded.

This is probably because you are using rasterize graphics in low resolution, no vector graphics (SVG).

  • Hi, I think that my explanation is clear enough. I assume that asking person knows, how to use graphical programs. Even if not, this is not a forum about graphical design, so I think, that giving instructions, about how to use the graphical software it's not my business

Your header image is a background-image with size of 50% so its size depends on the size of its container, and its container is a flexbox.

    As Maciej B. pointed out, vector graphics look better on large screens. This is because they store information about the shapes that form the picture, while raster graphics store the individual pixels. When the image is blown up or zoomed in, low-resolution raster graphics don't work well because there are now less pixels in a given space, or dots per inch (dpi). Higher dpi images can fix this, but vector is usually better. Because it saves the lines and shapes, the device can generate, or rasterize, this information into pixels it can display.
