Studio Editor: Adding and Customizing Shape Dividers


Add shape dividers to create an interesting and stylish transition between sections. Instead of using clear-cut lines to divide content, choose a shape (e.g. Ellipse, Waves) or upload your own. These dividers can go at the top and bottom of a section, and you can customize their design as needed.

FAQs


Click a question below to learn more about shape dividers.


Some shape divider designs are fully responsive, which means they adjust to the size of your visitors' screens.

More complex designs (such as 'New York Skyline' and 'Bottom of the Sea') cannot stretch without losing their proportions, so they're automatically scaled / cropped for the screen size.


It is only possible to upload and use SVG files as shape dividers on your site. PNG and JPG files are not supported.

When uploading your SVG, keep the following in mind:

  • SVG files you upload must be no larger than 250KB.

  • The recommended proportion size for your own SVG files is a width of 1920px, and a height between 50-300px.


Yes. The available design options for your custom divider depend on the specific file you upload.

In order to customize the design of your SVG, the file needs to:

  • Be a closed shape.

  • Be completely black (RGB = #000000).

  • Only contain one level of opacity (transparency).

  • Not contain any text, strokes, gradients, filters etc.
