How can I fix the issue where the background image is repeated on scroll on mobile devices in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Set background to “No Repeat,” position to “Center Center,” and size to “Cover” in the Style panel.
  • Change background attachment from “Fixed” to “Scroll” and adjust mobile-specific styles and overflow settings if needed.

If your background image keeps repeating on scroll on mobile devices in Webflow, it's typically due to background repeat or background attachment settings. Here's how you can fix it.

1. Check Background Style Settings

  • Select the element (e.g., Section or Div Block) where the background image is applied.
  • Go to the Style panel (paintbrush icon).
  • Under the Background section:
  • Ensure Repeat is set to “No Repeat”.
  • Set Position to “Center Center” or adjust as needed.
  • Set Size to “Cover” for full coverage.

2. Remove “Fixed” Background Attachment

  • Webflow offers fixed background images, but many mobile browsers don’t support background-attachment: fixed.
  • Still under the Background image settings:
  • If Attachment is set to “Fixed,” change it to “Scroll”.
  • This will prevent jumpy or repeated rendering on mobile scroll.

3. Use Custom Media Queries for Mobile (If Needed)

  • If the issue persists only on certain devices, create mobile-specific styles:
  • Select the element during mobile viewport (tablet or smaller).
  • Override background properties to match desired mobile behavior (e.g., display an image optimized for mobile).

4. Double-Check for Extra Padding or Overflow

  • Sometimes repeated images appear due to sections being larger than expected.
  • Check for:
  • Unintended padding or margins pushing content height.
  • Overflow settings causing layout issues (set sections to “overflow: hidden” if needed).

Summary

To stop a background image from repeating on mobile scroll in Webflow, set it to No Repeat, change Attachment from Fixed to Scroll, and ensure proper background size and position. Mobile devices don’t support fixed attachments well, so adjust for mobile viewports accordingly to keep backgrounds clean.
