To make your widget resize itself to the boundaries of its parent widget, wrap it with a FittedBox() widget. Check this [this video] video on Flutter's official channel for more detail. The code is like this: child: FittedBox( fit: Boxfit.fill, // Since you want it to take the shape of space around it. child: YourWidget( //... ), ),

You can also mess around with wrapping the image in the FittedBox widget... using it usually helps with sizing its child and it's got lots of good parameters you can set to get it to work specific to your use-case. There's also good documentation [this video] . Secondly, you could wrap it in a InteractiveViewer widget, although this may not be ideal. Finally, you could potentially wrap your image in a Transform.scale widget and change its scale parameter.

Try use FittedBox [this video] If the text is too large, FittedBox will automatically decrease the font size so that it fits inside the Card's space.

To avoid the text from being cut off, you can wrap FittedBox() [LINK] on your Text() widget: Padding( padding: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 20.0, right: 30), child: Container( height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 0.02, width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.23, child: ElevatedButton( onPressed: () {}, style: ElevatedButton.styleFrom( shape: RoundedRectangleBorder( borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(25), ), ), child: FittedBox( fit: BoxFit.fitWidth, child: const Text( 'Discover', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 15, color: Colors.black), ), ), ), )); Here [this video] is a YouTube video from the Google team on FittedBox() .
