Yes, there is a way to make a background image fixed while scrolling in Webflow that works on both desktop and mobile browsers. Here are the steps to achieve this effect:
- Select the section or element where you want to apply the fixed background image.
- In the Style panel, click on the "+" button next to "Background" to add a new background style.
- In the "Background" dropdown menu, select "Image" and upload or select the image you want to use as the background.
- By default, the image will be set to "Cover" which means it will cover the entire element. If you want the image to be fixed, change the "Position" dropdown menu to "Fixed".
- To ensure that the fixed background image works on both desktop and mobile browsers, you need to apply another style specifically for mobile devices.
- Click on the "+" button next to the "Background" style to add a new background style specifically for mobile.
- In the "Background" dropdown menu, select "Image" and choose the same image as before.
- Change the "Position" dropdown menu to "Cover" to make the image cover the element on mobile devices.
- Now the background image will be fixed while scrolling on both desktop and mobile browsers.
By following these steps, you can create a fixed background image effect that is responsive and works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile browsers in Webflow.
Additional tips:
- Ensure that the image you use is large enough to accommodate different screen sizes without losing quality.
- Test the effect on multiple devices and screen sizes to ensure it renders correctly and behaves as expected.
Example code:
.element { background-image: url("/path/to/your-image.jpg"); background-position: fixed; background-size: cover;}@media (max-width: 991px) { .element { background-image: url("/path/to/your-image.jpg"); background-position: center; background-size: cover; }}
