To animate just the .svg image within a div background in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Import your .svg image: Start by importing your .svg image into your Webflow project. To do this, click on the "Assets" tab in the right sidebar, and then click on the "Upload" button. Select your .svg file from your computer and wait for it to upload.
Add a div block: Drag and drop a div block onto your canvas in the desired location where you want to place the image.
Set the background image: With the div block selected, go to the "Styles" tab in the right sidebar. Scroll down to the "Background" section, and click on the "Image" property. In the drop-down, choose the uploaded .svg file as the background image.
Position and scale the image: Use the various styling options in the "Background" section to position and scale the .svg image within the div block to your liking. You can adjust the position using the "Position" property and the size using the "Size" property.
Apply animations: To animate the .svg image, you can use the built-in animation tools in Webflow. Select the div block containing the background image and click on the "+" button next to the "Transforms & Transitions" section in the right sidebar. Choose the desired animation type, such as "Fade In" or "Slide In," and configure the animation settings as needed.
Fine-tune animation settings: With the animation applied, you can now fine-tune the animation settings to isolate the effect to the .svg image. For example, you can adjust the delay, duration, and easing to control the timing and motion of the animation.
Preview and publish: Once you're satisfied with the animation, you can preview the design in the Webflow Designer by clicking the "Preview" button. If everything looks good, publish the site to make the animation live on the web.

By following these steps, you can animate just the .svg image within a div background in Webflow and create dynamic and engaging visual effects.
