Can I use Webflow interactions or another method to swap images on hover or when clicking a link on the page?
TL;DR
- Use Webflow interactions to swap images on hover by setting an initial state, then toggling visibility and opacity on hover-in/out.
- For click interactions, place both images in a container, set one to hidden, and toggle visibility on each click.
- In Webflow CMS, create separate fields for default and hover images, then apply the same interaction technique.
Yes, you can use Webflow interactions to swap images on hover or when clicking a link. Below are the methods to achieve this:
1. Using Webflow Interactions for Hover Effects
- Select the image you want to swap.
- Go to the Interactions panel and create a new Hover interaction.
- Set an initial state where the default image is visible and the hover image is hidden (set opacity: 0 or display: none).
- For the hover-in action, hide the default image and show the new image (set opacity to 100% or change display settings).
- For the hover-out action, reverse the process so the original image reappears.
2. Swapping Images on Click
- Place both images inside the same container (e.g., a Div Block).
- Set the second image to hidden using initial state options in Webflow interactions.
- Add a Click interaction to the image or button:
- First Click: Hide the first image and show the second image.
- Second Click (optional): Swap them back.
3. Using Webflow CMS for Dynamic Image Swaps
- If working with a CMS Collection, create fields for default image and hover image.
- Use a Collection List and apply an interaction or hover effect as described earlier.
Summary
You can swap images using Webflow interactions by creating hover or click-based animations that toggle visibility between two images. If using CMS, define separate image fields and apply the same logic.
