Using Divi Section Dividers

Divi Section Dividers give you the ability to add creative shape transitions between different sections on your page.

Updated over a year ago

Divi Section Dividers (or Divi Shape Dividers) allows you to add creative shape transitions between different sections on your page.

Section Divider designs can be placed at the top and/or bottom of each section element in Divi.

This allows a unique way to separate your content with seamless background design transitions.

Where Are Divi Section Dividers Available?

Divi Dividers are available in all sections:

  • Regular

  • Fullwidth

  • Specialty

Section dividers are unique to the Section element of Divi, so you can't add them to other elements like modules, columns, or rows.

You can use background masks and/or gradients to add unique background designs to those elements.

26 Unique Shapes

You can choose between 26 unique shapes, which can be flipped, resized, repeated, combined, and customized to create endless possibilities for design.

These shapes are built using SVG, meaning they will scale without losing quality, look perfect on retina devices, are super lightweight and won’t hurt your website’s loading speeds.

Customizing the shape divider options is easy with Divi!

Automatic Color Match

When a new shape divider is added to a section, that shape will automatically match the color of your current section and the adjacent section, creating a seamless transition between the two without requiring you to customize the colors. When you move the section or adjust your section’s background colors, the divider color will update automatically.

Custom Color Options

In addition to the built-in automatic color match, you can choose any color you'd like for your divider using saved, global, or recent colors.

You can also use Divi's proprietary magic color system to choose a color based on your most recent colors. Divi will suggest harmonious colors in rows based on your recent activity.

Divi Section Divider Height

Adjusting the height of your divider will alter how the divider appears in your section. The default height for shape dividers is 100px. That being said, you can use any unit of measurement supported by Divi, including pixels (px), picas (pc), percent (%), view height (vh), and more.

An additional option for divider height is the ability to adjust the height on hover. This enables you to create a movement effect when users navigate throughout the page.

Divi Section Divider Horizontal Repeat

Horizontal repeat is used to duplicate the divider from left to right. By default, one instance of a shape divider is enabled.

To choose how many times to repeat your divider, use the horizontal repeat slider to assign how many instances your divider should be visible.

Horizontal repeat can also be adjusted with Divi's responsive options.

Example: You can have a 5x repeat on desktop, then adjust the repeat to 3x for tablet and 1x on phone.

Divi Section Divider Flip

Divi enhances your options further by providing a flip option for your divider. You can flip your divider horizontally or vertically.

What’s Possible With Divi Section Dividers?

There are endless possibilities when working with Divi dividers.

Example: You can add animation effects. Additionally, you can incorporate effects such as hiding elements, rotating dividers with transformation controls, or scrolling effects.

Adding Motion to Divi Shape Dividers

As previously mentioned, you can add the appearance of motion to your dividers by using Divi's hover effects on the divider height.

However, there are additional ways of adding motion to your dividers. For example, you can add an empty section above or below other sections containing content to display motion using Divi's animation effects.
