- Adapt to image (Resize the banner to fit the background image size to avoid cropping image)
Please note: The ‘section height’ settings typically establish a minimum height for each section. This means that the actual height of a section may be greater than the specified value if its content exceeds the available area.
For mobile devices, you can set the banner height for mobile devices independently of the large screen settings. The setting options are the same with large screen settings.
Edit Image
- Background Image: Upload the background image for all devices. Recommended size: 1600x800px.

You can set background images separately for large screens and mobile.
- If you set the background image for the large screen and don’t upload the image for mobile screen, the mobile view will automatically inherit the image of the large screen.
- If you set the background image only for the mobile screen, the large screen will not inherit the image of the mobile screen.
