How can I automatically change background images every time a user refreshes my website in Webflow?
TL;DR
You can automatically change the background image on each page refresh in Webflow using custom JavaScript. Since Webflow does not have a built-in feature for this, you’ll need to manually add code to your project.
1. Add Images to Webflow Assets
- Upload the background images to Webflow’s Assets panel.
- Click on each image and copy its direct URL (right-click → "Copy URL").
2. Add a Unique Class to the Background Element
- Select the section or div where the background should change.
- Assign a unique class name (e.g.,
dynamic-bg).
3. Add Custom JavaScript to the Page
- Go to Page Settings or Project Settings > Custom Code > Footer.
- Paste the following script inside the Footer Code section:
```javascript
```
4. Publish and Test
- Publish your site and refresh the page multiple times to see the background change.
- If the background does not update, check that:
- The correct class name (
dynamic-bg) is applied. - The image URLs are valid.
Summary
To change the background image on every refresh in Webflow, upload images, assign a background class, and paste a JavaScript snippet in the Footer Code section. The script randomly selects an image and applies it as the background each time the page loads. 🚀
