Changing a Block Background

Choosing the right background color for an individual block can help its content stand out from the rest of your website. It's a great way to highlight your offer or your brand. You can choose to change the background of individual blocks or keep the pre-designed background images.

How to change a background image

1. Place your cursor over the block you want to change and click the "picture" Replace Image icon.

2. Choose the new background image on your computer. 

Tip: Your block background image should measure 1920 pixels wide or more. If your background image is too small, it will appear blurred and pixelated. 

3. Using the moving grid, select the part of the image you want to use as a background. The shape of the grid has been pre-designed in such way so you choose the image that proportionally fits the block design. 

4. Click Select to complete the change.

5. If you are unhappy with the background change, tap the Undo button in the top right corner or press Ctrl-Z on your keyboard.

To have a background of a different color, create an image with your chosen color background in an image editor and choose this file as a block background.
