How do I control the blog featured image size on Squarespace?

Blog featured images on Squarespace 7.1 can be excessively tall depending on the uploaded image dimensions. Control the height using max-height and object-fit to maintain consistent proportions.

The featured image container is .BlogItem-header .blog-item-image or .header-image. Constraining it ensures a uniform look across all posts regardless of the source image dimensions.

.blog-item-top-wrapper .header-image {
  max-height: 500px;
  overflow: hidden;
}
.blog-item-top-wrapper .header-image img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
  object-fit: cover;
  object-position: center;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  .blog-item-top-wrapper .header-image,
  .blog-item-top-wrapper .header-image img {
    max-height: 300px;
    height: 300px;
  }
}
