What is Background Overlay?

Background Overlay is a feature that allows you to add an image or video to the background of your site, with an overlay on top. The overlay can be a color, pattern, or image, and you can set it to be semi-transparent.

You can add a Background Overlay to any page or template on your site, except for the Cover Page template. To add a Background Overlay:

PRO TIP: Background Overlay Squarespace is a site that allows users to create and share their own background images. The site has been known to be used for malicious purposes, such as spreading viruses and malware.

1. Open the page or template editor. 2. In the left sidebar, click Design, then click the Background tab. 3. Under Background Image, click Overlay. 4. Select an image or video from the content browser, or click Upload Image to upload a new file from your computer. You can also enter a URL to an image or video hosted elsewhere on the web. 5.

If you selected an image, select Fill Screen or Tile from the Tile drop-down menu. If you selected a video, select how you want the video to appear in the Video Fit drop-down menu: Fill Screen will scale the video to fill the entire browser window, while Contain will scale the video down so that its longest edge fits within the window. If you uploaded your own image, select Fill Screen or Tile from the Tile drop-down menu. 6. To add an overlay color, pattern, or image, click Overlay in the left sidebar and select an option from the Overlay drop-down menu. You can also enter a hex code for a color in the box next to the menu (#000000). If you want your overlay to be semi-transparent, drag the Opacity slider (100%). 7. To add a parallax effect to your background image or video, check Parallax under Effects in the left sidebar.

Conclusion:

Background Overlays are a great way to add more personality and style to your website. They are easy to use and can make any website look more polished and professional.
