How To Use The Text Overlapping Image Designs
Keep your download folder handy. We’ll import the files, add a section to a page, and then replace the content.
1. Import Sections Into The Divi Library
Go to Divi → Divi Library. Click Import & Export at the top of the screen.
In the Import & Export Layouts modal, switch to the Import tab, then click Choose File and select your JSON file. Choose any Text Overlapping Image Section JSON you’d like to use, then click Import Divi Builder Layouts.
2. Add A Text Overlapping Image Section To Any Page
Open a page in the Visual Builder and add a new Section.
Click Add From Library and select one of your Text Overlapping Image sections.
3. Swap The Content
Once the section is on the page, replacing the placeholder content only takes a few clicks. Start by updating the heading, oversized text, body copy, buttons, labels, links, service names, captions, calls to action, and supporting details so the section matches your brand and message. Then swap in your own images, portraits, product photos, background visuals, icons, or supporting media as needed.
Because these designs rely on the relationship between text and image placement, it’s best to replace content one area at a time. This helps preserve the balance between typography, overlapping visuals, negative space, contrast, and supporting content as you customize the design.
If your new headline is longer or shorter than the original, review the layout immediately after editing. Large text can overlap images differently, wrap onto new lines, or shift the visual balance of the section. Adjust text size, line height, spacing, module width, or image position as needed.
If you want to expand or simplify a section, duplicate or remove existing rows, columns, groups, image modules, text modules, buttons, or content blocks rather than rebuilding the design from scratch. That’s the easiest way to preserve the original structure, spacing, and visual rhythm.
4. Adjust Styles (Optional)
These Text Overlapping Image Designs are already styled, so you can use them right away or refine them to better match your site. Update typography, colors, images, overlays, borders, shadows, spacing, backgrounds, buttons, and layout sizing as needed using the settings in the Design tab.
To change typography, open any Text or Heading module and go to the Design tab. Expand the relevant text settings to adjust Font, Font Weight, Text Alignment, Text Color, Text Size, Letter Spacing, Line Height, and more.
To refine the overlapping effect, open the section, row, column, group, image module, or text module you want to adjust and use the Design tab to tweak Sizing, Spacing, Transform, Position, Background, Border, and Box Shadow settings.
If your section uses large stacked text, image overlays, portrait cutouts, background photos, split layouts, dark panels, or layered content blocks, keep those relationships in mind as you edit so the composition remains intentional, readable, and balanced.
Use Divi’s responsive editing tools to fine-tune text size, image placement, stacking, spacing, overlap behavior, and button placement on smaller screens so the layout stays polished across devices.
Tips For Effective Text Overlapping Image Designs
Text overlapping image sections work best when the typography and visuals support each other. Use these quick tips to keep your sections bold, readable, and easy to customize.
Keep The Main Message Clear
Overlapping text can create a strong visual moment, but the message should still be easy to understand. Use concise headings and make sure the most important words remain readable at a glance.
Use Images With Strong Composition
The image needs to support the text instead of competing with it. Choose visuals with clear focal points, enough open space, and contrast that works well with the typography placed over or around it.
Balance Overlap With Readability
The overlap should feel intentional, not accidental. Make sure text remains readable by adjusting color, opacity, spacing, image brightness, overlay strength, and placement as needed.
Create Depth With Layers
Layered text and imagery can make a section feel more dynamic. Use scale, contrast, spacing, and image placement to create depth while keeping the layout organized and easy to scan.
Check The Layout On Mobile
Text overlapping image designs can change noticeably on tablet and phone screens as text wraps and images crop differently. Review your layout on smaller devices to ensure the overlap still works, the text remains readable, and calls to action stay easy to tap.
