Adding a Background Image or Video
The Background property allows you to add and customize background images for various containers, such as sections, rows, columns, flex containers, or individual elements like videos. Turning on the Background option activates the settings, allowing you to configure the background image’s source, style, fit, and color options.
Image URL: Enter the background image URL or upload one directly in the ClickFunnels image gallery.
Image Style: Controls how the background image is displayed within the container.
None: Displays the background image in its original size and position without additional styling, possibly leaving gaps if the image is smaller than the container.
Full Center: Centers the image within the container without resizing, which may leave blank spaces if the image is smaller than the container.
Full Center (Parallax): Centers the image and applies a parallax scrolling effect, creating a layered look as the image moves independently of the main content.
Note:Apple does not support the parallax effect on iOS devices. Images will be rendered with just a 'Full Center' style.Fill 100% Width: This option expands the image to cover the container’s full width, maintaining its aspect ratio and possibly cropping vertically.
Fill 100% Width & Height: This stretches the image to fill both the width and height of the container, cropping parts of the image to maintain the aspect ratio.
No Repeat: Displays the image once without repeating; any unused space will remain empty.
Repeat: Tiles the image across the container, covering both width and height.
Repeat Horizontally: Repeats the image across the container’s width only.
Repeat Vertically: Stacks the image vertically along the container’s height.
Image Fit: Position the image within the container (e.g., center, top-left, bottom-right) for better alignment. This setting appears when Contain or Scale-down is selected under Image Style.
Color: This option allows you to set a Background and Foreground color:
Background Color: If you do not wish to use a background image, you can apply a solid or gradient color directly as the background. Choose from the color picker for custom colors, or select a color from your Style Guide for consistency. When a background image is used, the background color generally won’t be visible, but it can appear momentarily during the image load time or serve as a fallback if the image fails to load.
Foreground Color: Adds an overlay on top of the background image, allowing for opacity adjustments to create a tinted or softened effect over the image. This layering can enhance readability or add a stylistic tint to the image.
Background Video: To use a video as the background, toggle on the option "Background Video." Enter a YouTube or Vimeo video URL to set the video as the background for the container.
Note:The Background Video option is available only in the Section, Row, and Flex containers.
