Understanding WordPress Image Masks

First things first, let’s talk about image masks. Imagine you have a photo, and you want to change its shape or even blend it into the background. That’s where image masks come in. They’re like digital stencils, allowing you to control the visibility of an image. Pretty neat, right?

Bricks Builder and Image Masks

Now, let’s talk about Bricks Builder. It’s a fantastic tool for building websites, but it doesn’t have a built-in feature for image masks. But don’t worry! With a little bit of CSS magic, we can easily add this feature.

Creating a Bricks Builder Image Mask with CSS

Alright, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work. Here’s how you can create an image mask in Bricks Builder using CSS:

1. Start by adding an image to your Bricks Builder layout. You can do this by dragging and dropping the image element into your layout.
2. Once you’ve added the image, you might want to adjust its size and position. To do this, navigate to the ‘Style’ tab and adjust the height and width to your liking.
3. Now, it’s time to apply the image mask. To do this, we’ll need to add a CSS class. Scroll down to the ‘CSS’ tab and give your image a class name. For our example, we’ll use the class name ‘doom’.
4. Next, we’ll need to insert the URL of the SVG image we want to use as the mask. In the ‘CSS’ tab, type the following code Image Mask CSS:

   .doom {
     -webkit-mask-image: url("https://your-image-url.svg");
     -webkit-mask-position: left;
     -webkit-mask-repeat: no-repeat;
     -webkit-mask-size: 500px;
   }
   

   Remember to replace "https://your-image-url.svg" with the actual URL of your SVG image.

Customize WordPress Image Mask

Now that you’ve got the basics down, you can start playing around with your image mask. Try adjusting the mask’s position and size to see how it changes the final image. Remember, there’s no right or wrong here. It’s all about experimenting and having fun!
