Are you looking to add a creative touch to your website by overlapping images? Webflow makes it incredibly easy to achieve this effect without any coding knowledge. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to overlap images in Webflow.
Step 1: Add an Image Element
To get started, open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to add the overlapping images. Click on the plus icon (+) in the left sidebar and select Add Element. From the dropdown menu, choose Image.
Step 2: Upload Your Images
After adding the Image element, click on it to open the settings panel on the right side of the screen. In the Image Settings section, click on Add image and upload the first image you want to overlap.
Step 3: Adjust Image Positioning
To overlap images, we need to adjust their positioning. Select the Image element and go to its settings panel.
Under Positioning, change the position value from static (default) to relative. This allows us to freely adjust its position using top, bottom, left, and right values.
Step 4: Set Z-Index
The z-index property determines which elements appear in front of others. To create overlapping images, we need to set different z-index values for each image.
Select an image element and go to its settings panel. Under Z-Index, enter a value higher than 1 (e.g., 2 or more). Repeat this step for all other images you want to overlap.
Step 5: Adjust Image Position
To actually overlap the images, we need to adjust their position. For example, to move an image upwards, go to its settings panel and under Positioning, change the top value to a negative number (e., -20px). Repeat this step for other images, experimenting with different position values until you achieve the desired overlap effect.
Step 6: Preview and Fine-tune
Now that your images are overlapped, click on the Preview button in the top-right corner of the Webflow designer. This allows you to see how your website looks and make any necessary adjustments to the image positioning or z-index values until you achieve the desired visual effect.
Tips for Overlapping Images in Webflow:
- Experiment with Different Positions: Try different combinations of positive and negative values for top, bottom, left, and right properties to create unique overlapping effects.
- Use Transparent PNGs: If you want to create complex overlapping effects, consider using transparent PNG images with irregular shapes.
- Group Elements: To maintain better control over your design, consider grouping overlapped elements into a
<div>.
