Have you ever wondered how to rotate a background image in Webflow? Well, you’re in luck!
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to achieve this effect using CSS. So, let’s get started!
Step 1: Adding the Background Image
The first step is to add the background image to your Webflow project. You can do this by selecting the desired element and navigating to the Styles panel.
From there, click on the “Background” section and choose the image option. Upload your image and adjust any necessary settings such as position and size.
Step 2: Creating a Custom Class
To rotate the background image, we need to create a custom class. This will allow us to Target the specific element that we want to apply the rotation effect to.
To create a custom class, go to the Styles panel and click on the plus icon next to “Class”. Give your class a name that reflects its purpose (e.g., “rotate-bg”) and press enter.
Step 3: Applying CSS
Now that we have our custom class, it’s time to apply some CSS properties to rotate the background image.
- Selecting the Custom Class: In order for our CSS code to affect only elements with our custom class, we need to select it properly. To do this, add a dot before your class name in your CSS code (e., .rotate-bg).
- Applying Transform Property: The transform property is used for rotating elements in CSS. Add the following line of code within your custom class selector:
transform: rotate(45deg);
Optional: Adjusting the Rotation Angle
If you want to change the rotation angle, you can modify the value inside the rotate() function. The unit “deg” stands for degrees, and you can use any value between 0 and 360.
Step 4: Applying the Custom Class
Now that we have our custom class with the rotation effect, it’s time to apply it to the desired element.
- Selecting the Element: Choose the element that you want to rotate its background image. This can be a section, a div, or any other element that has a background image applied to it.
- Adding the Custom Class: In the Styles panel, click on the plus icon next to “Class” and select your custom class (e., “rotate-bg”).
Step 5: Preview and Publish
Finally, preview your project to see how your background image rotates. If everything looks good, hit publish and showcase your rotating background image to the world!
