# Featured post image size

 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to change the size of the featured images from the posts because I
   would like them to show up like they do on the frontpage of the Ashe theme (I
   ´m using the free version), more like a square shape, with the images following
   the hight of the post excerpt. On my page, the images are always small in hight(
   making a rectangle shape), no matter the size I upload them, causing a lot of
   white empty space between the posts.
 * I started the page with the Hestia theme and later I changed to Ashe. Is it possible
   that this is causing the issue (the images are the same size that appeared in
   the Hestia frontpage)? But even in a new post, the same thing happens. I really
   don’t know what to do.
 * Thanks in advance
 * Gabriela
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffeatured-post-image-size%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@gabihum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabihum/)
 * At first, thank you for choosing our theme and service.
 * The previous theme can be related to the issue, to be more clear, the theme may
   be created in thumbnail sizes which are not fitter for the Ashe theme.
 * Your website is under construction mode and we are not able to check/debug the
   website. Please share screenshots of the issue, we will be able to provide more
   detailed instructions.
 * Kind Regards

 * Thank you for your fast reply.
 * Here is the link with the screenshot of my frontpage where the posts are:
    [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ovn_WfcHokUk80M9PWUw2oiy2ScZC6ib/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ovn_WfcHokUk80M9PWUw2oiy2ScZC6ib/view?usp=sharing)
   As you can see, the smaller image is the one I would like to change. The bigger
   image is closer to how I would like it to be.
 * I tried to ajust the images again on canvas and found out that with a much bigger
   size
    2560 x 2350, the image fits the layout I would like it to be, but it definetly
   loses quality. Also, it will probably make the page too heavy and will slow it
   down. Here is another screenshot with the change I made on the image of the first
   post (test post): [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HIZq9EvxD9w_yEhFk2lQg6HyISPeSN1T/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HIZq9EvxD9w_yEhFk2lQg6HyISPeSN1T/view?usp=sharing)
 * So, the problem is when I upload the images, they don´t come in the featured 
   size of Ashe. Do I have to resize the images to an specific size?
 * Thanks again
 * Gabriela

 * Hi Gabriela,
 * We recommend rebuilding your thumbnail images to your preferred sizes, for that
   you need to use 3rd party plugin: Ajax Thumbnail Rebuild or a related one.
 * Kind Regards
