Yes, in Webflow's designer, it is possible to rotate a background image within a div using the transform property. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Select the div element that contains the background image.
  2. In the right-hand sidebar, click on the "Styles" tab.
  3. Under the "Background" section, click on the "More Options" button (represented by three vertical dots) to expand the settings.
  4. Locate the "Transform" property and click on the "+" button next to it to create a new transform rule.
  5. In the transform rule drop-down menu, select "Rotate."
  6. Enter the desired rotation value in degrees. Positive values will rotate clockwise, and negative values will rotate counterclockwise.
  7. Preview your changes in the designer to see the background image rotate within the div.

Note: Rotating the background image will affect the entire div. If you only want to rotate the image and not the entire div, you may need to consider using an image element instead of a background image.

Overall, Webflow provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to adjust styling properties such as background image rotation directly in the designer. This simplifies the process of customizing your website's visuals without needing to write custom code.
