The Divi Image Module simplifies adding an image to any section of your website, allowing for easy customization with filters, animations, drop shadows, and other styling options. These features allow you to create an interactive and visually appealing website design.

How to Add the Divi Image Module to Your Page

Add a new page or edit an existing page.
By default, the Standard Gutenberg Editor loads whenever a new post or page is added to WordPress.
Click the purple button underneath the page title. Use The Divi Builder.

Once clicked, the page will be reloaded with the Divi Visual Builder.

As your page reloads, you'll notice three options:

Build From Scratch
Choose A Premade Layout
Build with AI

Build From Scratch

This option loads the Divi Builder with a blank page design. Choose this option if you'd like to start your page design from Scratch.

Choose a Premade Layout

This option lets you choose from our large library of pre-designed Divi layouts. You can choose from premade layouts by Divi, which you've designed and saved to your Divi Library, and existing pages on your website that you can clone.

Build with AI

This option allows you to create an entire page layout using Divi AI. Using your text prompt and information about your website, you can create the perfect page outline, then build it and fill it with content and imagery, bringing it all to life in no time.

Add the Image Module

When you load the Visual Builder, Divi automatically adds a Section.

Click the green + icon to insert a Row.
Click the gray + icon inside the Row to open the Divi Module Library, which contains all the modules included with the Divi theme.
Find the Image module and click on it to load the module.
The module library is also searchable. Type the module name you want in the search bar at the top.

All Divi Image Module Options Explained

After adding the module, its settings will automatically appear. These settings are organized into three tabs: Content, Design, and Advanced.

Rounded Corners – Type in a numerical value for round border corners. The higher the number, the rounder the corners will be. The corner values are automatically linked (as seen by the highlighted blue chainlink in the middle); however, if you’d like to have different values for each corner, click the blue chainlink to unlink the values. If the values are automatically linked, they will always have the same value and update automatically if one value is changed.

Divi Image Module Display Condition settings

Visibility

Disable on - Defines the visibility of the module. You can disable it (hide it from view) when the display window is a Phone, Tablet, or Desktop by clicking the corresponding checkbox.
Horizontal Overflow - Defines what shows when content overflows a block-level element's left and right edges. This may be:
- Visible - The content will show if the module's content overflows its height.
- Scroll - If the module's content overflows its height, a vertical scroll bar will be used to scroll through its content.
- Hidden - If the module's content overflows its height, the part of the content that overflows will be hidden.
- Auto - The browser will decide whether a scroll bar will be shown.
Vertical Overflow - Defines what shows when content overflows a block-level element's top and bottom edges. This may be:
- Visible - The content will show if the module's content overflows its height.
- Scroll - If the module's content overflows its height, a vertical scroll bar will be used to scroll through its content.
- Hidden - If the module's content overflows its height, the part of the content that overflows will be hidden.
- Auto - The browser will decide whether a scroll bar will be shown.

Transitions

This controls the hover animation's transition duration, delay, and speed curve.

Transition Duration - Defines the duration (in milliseconds) of the transition of the hover animation.
Transition Delay - Defines the transition delay of the hover animation (in milliseconds).
Transition Speed Curve - Defines the transition speed curve of the hover animation.

Position

Position - This defines the position of the module:
- Relative (default value) - The module is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset values are relative to itself based on the values of Vertical Offset and Horizontal Offset. The offset does not affect the position of any other elements; thus, the space given for the module in the page layout is the same as if the position were default (static).
- Absolute - The module is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned relative to its closest positioned ancestor (if any) or the initial containing block. The Location options determine its final position
- Fixed - The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned based on the location options in relation to the browser window. This can be used to create a sticky module.
Vertical Offset - Defines the module's vertical position.
Horizontal Offset - Defines the module's horizontal position.
Z-index - Defines the order of the module in the page layout. Modules with a higher z-index number overlap modules with a lower z-index.

Scroll Effects

This defines how the module behaves upon scrolling. You can make the module sticky (to top, bottom, or top and bottom) and choose if the module transforms upon scrolling.

You can also enable vertical motion on this module, which allows you to adjust the speed at which this element scrolls (making it faster or slower) without affecting the surrounding elements.

The Motion Trigger Effect allows you to choose when the scroll effect you just applied is triggered: when the top of the element is in view, the middle, or the bottom.
