Editor & design

Animated header backgrounds

Use a moving shader background in your header, with customizable colors, speed and cursor interaction.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open Editor → Design → Header and choose Animated.

  2. 2

    Hover the preview cards to see them move, then select a style such as Liquid, Aurora, Ribbon, Caustics or Magnetic. There are 18 styles.

  3. 3

    Under Customize, change the colors, speed and intensity. Turn on cursor interaction if the background should react to the pointer.

  4. 4

    Preview the header and publish.

Good to know

When the header is off-screen the animation pauses and resumes where it left off.

Visitors who prefer reduced motion, and devices that cannot show the animation, see a still version instead. Social sharing images use a still version as well.
