Can I create custom shapes in Webflow to add onto my hero image?

Yes, you can create custom shapes in Webflow to enhance your hero image using various techniques. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Use Webflow's Native Div Blocks

• Add a Div Block from the Add panel and position it over your hero image.
• Style it with Border-Radius to create circles, ovals, or rounded rectangles.
• Use Clipping (clip-path) under Custom CSS in the Style panel to create complex shapes.

2. Use SVG Images

• Create a custom shape in a design tool (e.g., Figma, Illustrator) and export it as an SVG.
• Upload the SVG to Webflow via the Assets panel and position it over the hero image using absolute positioning.

3. Use Webflow’s Built-in Clip Paths

• Select an element and go to the Style panel.
• Add custom CSS in the Embed component with the clip-path property for polygon, circle, or other shapes.
• Example: clip-path: polygon(50% 0%, 100% 50%, 50% 100%, 0% 50%); creates a diamond shape.

4. Use Lottie Animations for Unique Shapes

• If you need dynamic shapes, import a Lottie animation using the Lottie component from the Add panel.
• This allows you to add animated SVGs for interactive effects.

Summary

You can overlay custom shapes on your hero image using Div blocks, SVG images, clip-path CSS, or Lottie animations. Webflow provides multiple ways to create unique designs without needing custom code.
