I am trying to span a image over 4 rows without effecting the height of every row in the 2 column. But every time I resize the image the other rows get huge gaps also there is gap on the right of the image. I am really confused (Image of grid). I would really appreciate a explanation, why my grid areas are not working.

CSS and HTML:

.center-row {
  width: 1140px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.worksteps {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: auto auto auto auto;
  grid-template-areas:
    "img workstep1"
    "img workstep2"
    "img workstep3"
    "img downloadActions";
}

.app-display-frame {
  grid-area: img;
}

.app-display {
  width: 40%;
}

.workstep--1 {
  grid-area: workstep1;
}

.workstep--2 {
  grid-area: workstep2;
}

.workstep--3 {
  grid-area: workstep3;
}

.download-actions {
  grid-area: downloadActions;
}

.download-actions img {
  height: 40px;
}

I will offer two solutions.

In the first solution, the side text list does not depend on the image height except for the last row. To do this, you need to set 1fr for the last row, with the help of then all the rows that are higher to receive the height of their content.

.worksteps {
  ...
  grid-template-rows: auto auto auto 1fr;
  ...
}


.center-row {
  width: 1140px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.worksteps {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: auto auto auto 1fr;
  grid-template-areas:
    "img workstep1"
    "img workstep2"
    "img workstep3"
    "img downloadActions";
}

.app-display-frame {
  grid-area: img;
}

.app-display {
  width: 40%;
}

.workstep--1 {
  grid-area: workstep1;
}

.workstep--2 {
  grid-area: workstep2;
}

.workstep--3 {
  grid-area: workstep3;
}

.download-actions {
  grid-area: downloadActions;
}

.download-actions img {
  height: 40px;
}
<section class="steps">
  <div class="center-row">
    <h2>How it works; simple as 1, 2, 3</h2>
  </div>
  <div class="center-row">
    <div class="worksteps">
      <div class="app-display-frame">
        <img
          class="app-display"

          alt="Shoku app on Iphone"
        />
      </div>

The second solution builds on the first solution, but with the addition of additional img rules and .worksteps selector.

For the img tag add a height: 100% and object-fit: contain. Like that:

.app-display {
    ...
    height: 100%;
    object-fit: contain;
}

And the most important thing in this solution is the addition of max-height: 1px to .worksteps. This will prevent the image from leaving the grid, and the height of all rows will be made according to the height of its content. This is a lifehack solution. Like that:

.worksteps {
  ...
  max-height: 1px;
}


.center-row {
  width: 1140px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.worksteps {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: auto auto auto 1fr;
  grid-template-areas:
    "img workstep1"
    "img workstep2"
    "img workstep3"
    "img downloadActions";
  max-height: 1px;
}

.app-display-frame {
  grid-area: img;
}

.app-display {
  width: 40%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: contain;
}

.workstep--1 {
  grid-area: workstep1;
}

.workstep--2 {
  grid-area: workstep2;
}

.workstep--3 {
  grid-area: workstep3;
}

.download-actions {
  grid-area: downloadActions;
}

.download-actions img {
  height: 40px;
}

  <div class="center-row">
