How do I add a color overlay to an image in Webflow?

TL;DR

Adding a color overlay to an image in Webflow can be done using a div block and background styling. Here's how to achieve this effect:

1. Add Your Image

  • Drag an Image element onto the canvas, or set a Div Block with a background image.
  • If using an Image element, wrap it in a Div Block to apply the overlay separately.

2. Create an Overlay Layer

  • Add a new Div Block above the image within the same parent container.
  • Set its position to Absolute (Full) so it completely covers the image.
  • Ensure the parent div has Position: Relative to contain the overlay properly.

3. Adjust Overlay Styling

  • Set a background color for the overlay div (e.g., black or any desired color).
  • Lower the Opacity or add Background Opacity using RGBA values (e.g., rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) for a 50% black overlay).
  • If using transparency, ensure the Blending Mode or Transparency setting works well with the image below.

Summary

To add a color overlay to an image in Webflow, place the image inside a div block, add an overlay div above it, apply absolute positioning, and adjust the color opacity.
