Adding an animated background to your page sections
Adding moving backgrounds to your Podia site can be done through our Background image feature.
Here's how to add moving backgrounds to your Podia page sections.

Open Podia's Site builder.
Click on the page section where you want to add the moving background and head over to the “Design” tab.
Click on "Add" next to Background Image.
Upload your GIF and use the image adjustments to change the opacity, blur, contrast, and colors.
And that's it! Your page section will now have a moving background 😄
