Header image appears smaller than actual image

  • I do not understand why my header image is smaller than the image I uploaded, especially since in the customizer under Header Image it says: While you can crop images to your liking after clicking Add new image, your theme recommends a header size of 2560 × 300 pixels.

    I was originally going to transfer my static website to WordPress, but due to a variety of problems I am going to limit the WP site to those areas that will benefit from blog management. However, I need to have the blog pages not be jarringly different. Having the header the same size is important.

    Here is the corresponding page from the static site

    And the same page in the WP site

    And here is the actual image

    Can you tell me how I can get that image to show its actual size? I’d appreciate it very much.

    On my end, I see your whole header area short in width to 700px from this:

    #masthead {
    max-width: 700px;
    margin: auto;
}

    You original site’s header container is 1232px in width, so you may want to change your 700px to that.

    But the image you are referring to appears to still be the same size as the actual image link you provided which is 549 x 230 pixels. The only difference I see is the width of the header container being 700px.
