Yes, there is a way to prevent a large photo used as the background of a header section in Webflow from cropping from the top and cutting off people's heads when scaling for larger screens. By adjusting the background position and size properties, you can ensure that the image is displayed properly on all screen sizes. Here's how you can accomplish this:
- Select the header section in Webflow.
- Open the "Styles" panel on the right-hand side of the screen.
- Locate the background image property and click on the "Edit" button next to it.
- In the background image settings modal, adjust the "Position" property. By default, it is set to "Center Center". Change it to "Top Center" to ensure that the top part of the image is always visible.
- If necessary, you can also adjust the "Size" property. By default, it is set to "Cover", which means the image will cover the entire container. However, if the image is very large and you don't want it to be cropped too much on larger screens, you can change it to "Contain". This will make sure the entire image is visible, but it may result in more empty space around the image on larger screens.
- Click "Save" to apply the changes.
Following these steps will help you prevent the header background image from cropping from the top and cutting off people's heads on larger screens. You can experiment with different positions and sizes to achieve the desired result.
