Home Block Editor Cover Block
Cover Block
The Cover block puts text over a background image, video or colour. It is often used for the large banner at the top of a page.
Videos not enabled.
Because the words sit on the picture, contrast matters. A busy or pale photo can make white text hard to read, which is why the block lets you add a coloured overlay and change how strong it is.
Before you finish
- Check the cover on a phone. Covers crop differently on narrow screens, so make sure the important part of the image is still in view.
