Expanding image grid

Question

Right now I have a grid full of images that are entirely different sizes. I want to have each of the images round up to a certain size, and so far all I have been able to do is use percentages for it to work.

Is there a way to make the images always stay a certain size?


         
        
            
        
        Example thingy
        This is a cool bit 

        of text and stuff!

Here is the CSS for creating a grid:

  .column {
    float: left;
    width: 33.33%;
    padding: 5px;
    display: inline-block ;
    max-height: 200px;
  }
  
  .row::after {
    content: "";
    clear: both;
    display: table;
  }


  @media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
    .column {
      width: 90%;
    }
  }

  .grid-container {
    display: grid;
    column-gap: 50px;
    row-gap: 50px;
    grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;
    grid-template-rows: auto auto auto auto;
    align-content: center;
    max-width: 66%;
    margin: auto auto;
  }
