In today's mobile-first world, creating a website that looks great on all devices is essential. Divi's responsive settings allow you to customize your site's appearance and functionality for different screen sizes, ensuring a seamless user experience.

In this article, we will guide you through the process of using Divi's responsive settings to tailor your website's design for desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

All design options in the Design Tab support Responsive settings for each element (section, row, column, module).

Use the Divi's Responsive settings

  1. Open the element's settings by clicking on the Gear icon

  2. Go to the Design Tab

  3. Hover over the option name that you want to change

  4. Click on the Responsive icon to enable the Responsive settings

  5. Use the three Tabs to switch to Desktop, Tablet or Phone

  6. Adjust the option value for each device

  7. Save your changes

Important Note: If no value is specified for smaller devices (tablet and phone), the value used on the larger devices will be used.

Example:

  • If you set the font size for a Text module to be 40px for Desktop and 20px for Phone, the Tablet will inherit and use the 40px from Desktop.

Use the Divi's Responsive preview options

  1. Expand the Visual Builder toolbar by clicking on the Elipse icon
