  1. Select the section by clicking on it in the Navigator panel or directly on the canvas.
  2. In the Design panel, navigate to the “Background” section.
  3. Click on “Add Image” and select your prepared background picture from your device.

  • Repeat: Define whether the image should repeat horizontally, vertically, or not at all.

Note: These options may vary depending on your specific requirements and Webflow plan. Be sure to explore all available settings to achieve your desired result.
