Background Image

🎯 Purpose

Background images help define the visual tone of a section, column, or widget—adding depth and style to your layout. Elementor’s tools make it easy to swap, customize, and fine-tune these images with precision.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Editing

1. Select the Element
   Click the section, column, or widget where you want to update the background.

2. Go to Style Settings
   In the left-side panel, switch to the Style tab to find background options.

3. Choose Classic Background
   Select the “Classic” option, which supports single-color, gradient, or image backgrounds.

4. Upload or Choose Image
   Click the image area to open the media library, or upload your own. Select the image you want.

5. Set Image Controls

   • Position: Choose how the image aligns within the container (e.g., center center, top right).

   • Attachment: Options include static background or parallax-style “fixed” effect.

   • Repeat: Choose whether the image repeats to fill the space or remains single.

   • Size: Controls include cover (fills container), contain (entire image visible), or custom dimensions.

6. Overlay & Blend Options
   Apply a color or gradient overlay for styling and contrast. Blending modes can enhance visual effects.

🎨 Best Practices

• Use cover for full-section images to fill background while maintaining aspect ratio.

• Set position to focus on key parts of the image, especially on responsive screens.

• Use no-repeat for large images to avoid tiling artifacts.

• Enable fixed attachment for subtle parallax scrolling effects on large screens.

• Add color overlays for readability, ensuring text contrasts well against the background.

• Adjust settings separately across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices for responsive design.

📌 Common Use Cases

• Add a hero image behind headlines and buttons in top-of-page sections.

• Style testimonial or feature blocks with accent or themed backgrounds.

• Create visual dividers or banners between site sections for dramatic impact.

• Use overlays for text readability or to align with branding colors.

In just a few clicks, Elementor makes changing and customizing background images straightforward—letting you control positioning, scaling, overlays, and responsive behavior for stunning page visuals.
