Image hero
The Image hero section was added in v1.2.0 — Update your theme to access new features.
The Image hero section displays a large image banner with overlaid headings, text, and buttons.
Editing templates will change all pages that use the same template. Create new templates for different page layouts, or show dynamic page content in the same template.
Set up section
In the editor side panel, click (+) Add section and select Image hero. Click and hold the drag handles ⋮⋮ to re-order sections.
Section styles
Click the section to edit general section styles for colors and spacing, available in all sections:

Image
Select or upload an image to display as the hero image.
There are no required images dimensions. We simply recommend uploaded images have a minimum width of 2500px for optimal quality across all devices.
Mobile image
Select or upload an alternate image to display on mobile devices. You may want a different image that works best with mobile screen dimensions, for example a portrait shaped image.
Background link
Select a page or URL to make the entire image a clickable link.
Image animation
Change the animation style of how the image loads. The image can gradually fade into view or be revealed by an iris swipe, which appears as a growing circle. Set to None to disable animations.
Set image height
Under Image height, choose to display the image with a Fixed or Relative height.
Fixed heights maintain the same pixel height on all screens.
Relative heights adapt the image height as a percentage of the screen height.

Section colors
The section uses two color schemes. The first color scheme applies a section background color, and the overlay color scheme applies text, button, and overlay tint colors.
Change background color
The section background is visible when the section has top and bottom padding or when the section width is page width or full width padded.
In the section settings, select a color scheme (at the top of the settings panel) to apply its background color. You can edit the color scheme in your theme settings.
Change overlay colors
Under Overlay, select a color scheme to apply text, button, and overlay colors.
The color scheme's background color is used for the tint overlay. If the color scheme has a backgraound gradient, it will replace the solid color background.
Overlay colors with high contrast help keep text readable and accessible for everyone.
