Image doesn't scale at Bottom When Scaling Window in Figma

I'm working on a website design in Figma and have a full-screen image placed below a navigation bar. When I resize the window, the image scales correctly but gets cut off at the bottom, as if there's an invisible limit. I've already made the page longer, but the issue persists. How can I fix this so the full image is always visible when scaling?

Would appreciate any help!

In the following example you can see that when I drag the window to the right to enlarge the window, the image doesn't scale with it on the bottom, almost like there is an invisable limit like stated above.

That’s hard to know without seeing your layers. Can you show us how that frame is set up?

Absolutely, let me add some screenshots to the appendix so that you have a better understanding of my current set-up.

I understand now. Your image layer is scaling together with the frame when you’re adjusting the window size, because you have the constraint set to Left + Right, and because the image is set to fill, it’s going to resize outside it’s layer’s bounds.

The reason you get the border at the bottom is simply because the image layer isn’t tall enough to incorporate the scaled up image. If you resize the frame in the editor, you’ll see what’s going on. It’s just the image scaling inside of the image layer.

Here are the different modes: https://www.figma.com/best-practices/working-with-images-in-figma/#fill

If you can’t get your desired result, then let me know what that is, and I may be able to give you some pointers.
