Creating a Smooth Wave-like Section Divider using SVG in Webflow

If you want to add a smooth, wave-like section divider to your Webflow website using SVG, you can follow the steps outlined below:

  1. Prepare the SVG File: Create or find an SVG file that represents the wave-like shape you want to use as a section divider. Make sure the SVG is well-optimized and consists of one or more paths or shapes that form the desired wave effect.

  2. Upload the SVG File to Webflow: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the Assets panel and upload the SVG file you prepared. Once uploaded, you can select the SVG file from the Assets panel and copy its URL.

  3. Create a Section Divider Container: Place a new section or div block on your page where you want the wave-like section divider to appear. This container will hold the SVG element.

  4. Add an Embed Element: Inside the section divider container, drag and drop an Embed element from the Elements panel. The Embed element can be found under the Components category.

  5. Insert the SVG Code: Double-click on the Embed element to open the embed code editor. Inside the editor, paste the following code using the URL of your uploaded SVG file:

<svg class="section-divider-svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 1440 160">  <use xlink:href="(URL_TO_YOUR_SVG_FILE)"></use></svg>

Note: Replace "(URL_TO_YOUR_SVG_FILE)" with the URL of your uploaded SVG file.

  1. Style the Section Divider: To make the section divider appear properly, you will need to apply some CSS styles. First, assign a class name to the section divider container by selecting it and going to the Settings panel. Then, apply the following custom CSS code using the class name you assigned:
.section-divider-svg {  width: 100%;  height: auto;  fill: #ffffff; /* Replace "#ffffff" with the desired color */}

Note: You can adjust the fill color to match your website's design.

And that's it! You now have a smooth, wave-like section divider using SVG in Webflow. Feel free to further customize the section divider's positioning, dimensions, and colors to suit your website design.
