To position a background image on the right side of an element with a fixed pixel offset and ensure it doesn't overlap with long text, follow these steps:
1. Use a Background Image on the Right Side
- Select the element (e.g., a button or div).
- Go to the Style panel > Backgrounds section.
- Add your background image.
- Set Position to Right and Vertically Centered (50%).
- Set Size to Contain or a fixed size depending on the shape of your image.
2. Add Fixed Right Offset
- In the Background Image Position section, adjust the horizontal position using
Right [X]px
, where X is the fixed offset you want (e.g., Right 20px
). - This keeps the icon or image from hugging the far edge, even when the element grows.
3. Add Right Padding to Prevent Text Overlap
- Still in the Style panel, go to Spacing > Padding.
- Add right padding equal to (or slightly more than) the image width plus your offset. For example:
- If image width is 20px and offset is 10px, round up and give
padding-right: 40px
. - This ensures text won't overlap or push into the background image area.
- Preview the site and insert a long label into the button or element to confirm:
- The label remains fully visible.
- The background image stays right-aligned and never gets crowded or blocked.
Summary
To position a background image on the right side of an element in Webflow with fixed padding:
- Use background image positioning: Right + fixed pixel offset.
- Add enough right padding to the element to prevent text from overlapping the image when content grows.
