How can I place an image on top of another image in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Drag both images into the same container, set the overlay image's position to 'absolute', and adjust the z-index to ensure it stays on top.
  • Use styling tools to fine-tune positions, margins, and ensure responsiveness across breakpoints.

To place an image on top of another image in Webflow, you can use a combination of positioning and styling techniques.

​

1. Add the Background Image

  • Drag an Image element into your desired section or container. This will be your base or background image.

​

2. Add the Overlay Image

  • Drag another Image element into the same container, ensuring it follows the first image in the structure panel.

​

3. Configure Positioning

  • Click on the image you want to overlay and go to the Style panel.
  • Set the position to 'Absolute'. This places the image in reference to the nearest positioned ancestor, which should be the container if not reset.
  • Adjust the position and size of the overlay image to achieve the desired placement over the background image. You might need to use pixel values or percentages to fine-tune.

​

4. Adjust the Z-Index

  • With the overlay image selected, go to the Style panel.
  • Increase the z-index value to ensure it stays on top of the background image.

​

5. Fine-Tune Layout

  • Use padding and margin adjustments on the images or container as needed.
  • Ensure responsiveness by checking how both images look at different breakpoints, making necessary adjustments.

​

Summary

To position an image on top of another in Webflow, place both within the same container, set the overlay image's position to 'absolute', and adjust the z-index for layering. Use styling tools to fine-tune positions and ensure responsiveness.
