Text overlays over photos or other visual elements are a common requirement for web designers and developers. Thankfully, Webflow makes doing this activity really simple. In this post, we’ll examine the overlaying of text in Webflow and address relevant queries concerning making a hero image, showing text when the user hovers over it, and animating text.
1. First, upload the image or other visual component to your Webflow canvas that you wish to overlay text on. You can do this by either choosing the element in the Navigator panel or dragging and dropping it from the left-hand panel into the canvas. 2. After your image is in position, add a div block by clicking the “+” button in the top-left corner of the canvas and choosing “Div Block.” 3. Drag the div block’s boundaries or change its measurements in the right-hand panel to resize it to fit over the image. 4. Select “Absolute” in the “Position” section of the Styles panel while the div block is chosen. You can then place the div block over the picture. The text element should then be added to the div block.
5. You can accomplish this by either entering straight into the div block or dragging and dropping a text element from the left-hand panel. 6. Apply the desired styling to the text element by changing its font, color, size, and other attributes in the Styles panel. The text element should now be placed over the image by moving the div block’s location within the canvas. Drag the div block in order to accomplish this, or change its position values in the Styles panel.
A website or webpage’s hero picture is a sizable, eye-catching graphic component that normally sits at the top. Simply adhere to the procedures outlined above for overlaying text on an image to generate a hero image in Webflow.
Consider adding a background color or gradient to the div block containing your text to further enhance the prominence of your hero image. To discover the ideal combination for your design, you may also experiment with various text layouts and styles.
Use Webflow’s hover state functionality to display text when the mouse is over an image or other element. This is how:
2. To add a new interaction, go to the Interactions panel and click the “+” button.
4. Click “Affect,” then choose the text component you want to appear when the user hovers over it.
Webflow Animating Text
1. Decide which text element to animate. 2. To add a new interaction, go to the Interactions panel and click the “+” button. 3. Choose the type of trigger you want for the animation under “Trigger,” such as “scroll” or “click.” 4. Choose the type of animation you wish to use under “Action,” such as “fade in” or “slide in.” 5. In the “Animation” area of the panel, change the animation settings as needed. 6. Click the “Preview” button in the top-right corner of the window to see the animation in action.
Using the platform’s user-friendly design tools, one may easily overlay text in Webflow. To add interest and engagement to your website, you can quickly build eye-catching hero photos, display text on hover, and animate text with a little imagination.
In Webflow, do the following actions to stack images on top of one another:
1. Expand your page with a new section. 2. Include an image component in the section. 3. Choose the picture element, then select the Style panel. 4. Change the position to Relative under Position. Set the Z-Index value greater than the default under the Z-Index section (for example, 1). 6. As many times as necessary, duplicate the image element and then reposition each copy as needed. 7. To ensure that all picture elements stack correctly, make sure to modify the Z-Index of each one. The element will be piled higher on the page the higher the Z-Index number. You can stack photos on top of one another in Webflow by following these steps.
