How can I create tiles in Webflow with images that are larger than the parent div block, so that only a portion of the image is visible and the div wrapper cuts off the overflow?
To create tiles in Webflow with images that are larger than the parent div block, and have the overflow cut off, you can use Webflow's flexbox and image masking features. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
1. Create a new section or div block where you want to place your tiles.
2. Set the display property of the parent div block to "Flex" by selecting it and going to the "Display" setting in the Styles panel.
3. Configure the Flex settings according to your layout requirements. For example, you can choose between "Horizontal" or "Vertical" orientation, define alignment, spacing, etc.
4. Inside the parent div block, add a new div block for each tile. These div blocks will act as containers for your images.
5. Select the individual div block for each tile, and set the overflow property to "Hidden" in the Styles panel. This will ensure that any content extending beyond the div block's boundaries will be cut off.
6. Within each tile div block, add an image element by dragging and dropping an image component into it from the Add panel or the Assets panel.
7. Customize the size and positioning of the image to create the desired effect. You can adjust the image dimensions by selecting it and specifying the width and height in the Styles panel. To make the image larger than its parent div block, set the width and height to values greater than the parent div block's dimensions.
8. To control which portion of the image is visible, you can use image masking. Select the image element, and in the Styles panel, click on the "Background" setting. From there, you can choose the "Mask" option and use different shapes like squares, circles, or custom shapes to define the visible portion of the image.
9. Adjust the positioning and size of the masked image to achieve the desired look within the tile. You can use the background positioning settings to move the image within its container.
10. Repeat steps 6 to 9 for each tile to create a consistent design across all tiles.
By following these steps, you should be able to create tiles in Webflow with images that are larger than the parent div block, with only a portion of the image visible and the overflow cut off. Remember to preview your design and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the desired visual effect.
