To create overlapping images between sections of a project in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up your sections: Start by creating the different sections of your project where you want the overlapping images to appear. Each section should have a unique class assigned to it.

  2. Add an image: Inside the section where you want the overlapping image to appear, add an Image element from the Webflow's Add panel. You can either upload an image from your computer or use an image URL.

  3. Adjust the image position: Select the Image element and navigate to the Style panel. Under the Position section, choose the position for the image that best suits your design. You can choose "Absolute" to freely position the image within the section.

  4. Overlapping and z-index: To overlap the image with content from other sections, you need to adjust the z-index property. Select the Image element and set the z-index to a higher value (e.g., 2) compared to other elements within the sections.

  5. Fine-tune the position: Use the positioning options in the Style panel, such as top, left, right, and bottom, to adjust the exact position of the image within the section. You can manually set the pixel values or use percentage values to create responsive designs.

  6. Apply interactions (optional): If you want to add interactive elements or animations to the overlapping image, you can use Webflow's interactions feature. This allows you to create custom animations or interactions based on triggers like mouse clicks, hovers, or scrolling.

  7. Repeat for other sections: Repeat the above steps for any other sections where you want to have overlapping images. Adjust the z-index, position, and other styling properties to your liking.

By following these steps, you can create visually captivating designs with overlapping images between sections in Webflow. Remember to preview your design in different screen sizes to ensure it looks good across all devices.
