To make a GIF on your splash landing page reload and play from the start each time the page is refreshed in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
- Prepare your GIF:
- Create or find the GIF you want to use.
- Make sure the GIF starts playing from the beginning and loops continuously.
- Upload the GIF to your Webflow project:
- Go to your Webflow project dashboard.
- Navigate to the Assets tab.
- Click on the "Upload" button to upload your GIF.
- Add the GIF to your splash landing page:
- Open the page where you want to add the GIF in the Webflow Designer.
- Drag and drop an "Image" element onto the page.
- In the Image settings panel on the right, select the uploaded GIF from the Asset Manager.
- Configure the GIF settings:
- With the Image element selected, go to the "Settings" tab in the right panel.
- Check the "Autoplay" option.
- If you want to hide the image until the GIF has fully loaded, select the "Hide image until loaded" option.
- Publish your changes:
- Once you have finished configuring the GIF settings, click on the "Publish" button to make your changes live.
Now, whenever someone visits your splash landing page, they will see the GIF starting from the beginning and playing on each page refresh.
Additional Tip: If you want to further customize the behavior of the GIF, you can consider using custom code or interactions in Webflow. For example, you could use JavaScript to trigger the GIF to reload when the page is refreshed.
