To achieve a blurred background image that fills the entire Hero Image/Cat div using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the Hero Image or Cat div: In the Webflow Designer, locate the Hero Image or Cat div on your canvas and select it.

  2. Add a Background Image: In the right-hand panel, under the "Background" section, click on the "+" button next to "Image". Select the image you want to use as the background.

  3. Apply the Blur Effect: Once the image is added, navigate to the "Background" section and click on the "Image" field again. This will open the Image settings dialog box. Adjust the blur setting to your desired level. Note that you may need to use a high-resolution image to ensure the blur effect doesn't pixelate the image.

  4. Make the Image Fill the Div: While still in the Image settings dialog box, click on the "Position" dropdown and select "Cover". This will make the image fill the entire Hero Image or Cat div.

  5. Adjust Overflow: If the image is overflowing beyond the boundaries of the div, go to the div's settings panel and under the "Overflow" section, select "Hidden". This will prevent the blurred image from extending beyond the div.

  6. Fine-tuning: To further customize the appearance of the div, you can adjust other settings such as padding, margins, opacity, border, etc., according to your design preferences.

By following these steps, you can easily create a blurred background image that fills the entire Hero Image or Cat div using Webflow. Remember to preview your design in different device breakpoints to ensure the image and blur effect are responsive and visually appealing.
