Wix Editor: Customizing Your Popup
Updated: 6 days ago
Customize your popup to make it look how you want. You can choose an overlay to cover the page around the popup, set the popup's position, and change the background to create a design that's unique to your brand.
Adjusting the layout of a popup
Set where the popup appears on your page. You can choose a corner of the page where it should appear, and adjust the distance of the popup from the edges of the screen (offset).
To choose your popup's layout:
Click Pages & Menu
on the left side of the editor.
Click Popups.
Click the relevant popup to open it.
Select the popup in the editor.
Click the Layout icon
.
Choose how you want to adjust the layout:
Set position: Click a rectangle on the grid to set the position of your popup on the page.
Horizontal offset: Move the box to the left or right of the screen.
Vertical offset: Move the box up or down on the screen.
Setting up the popup overlay
Your overlay is the space around the popup that blocks out the rest of your site. This helps visitors focus on the message of your popup. Choose if your site visitors can click the overlay to close to the popup.
To set up the overlay:
Click Pages & Menu
on the left side of the editor.
Click Popups.
Click the relevant popup to open it.
Click anywhere outside of the popup to select this area.
Choose what to do next:
Decide if visitors click the overlay to close the popup:
Click Set Up Overlay.
Enable or disable the Clicking Closes Popup toggle.
Note: If you disable this option, make sure that you have either an 'X' icon or 'Close' button on your popup.
Design the overlay:
Click Change Overlay Background.
Choose between a color, image or video background.
(Optional) Click Settings to adjust the overlay.
Tip: You can adjust the opacity of color and image backgrounds. We recommend making the overlay slightly transparent so that your visitors can still see the page behind the popup but understand that it is blocked.
Overlays on your mobile-friendly site:
It is not possible to edit your popup overlay on the mobile version of your site.
If you add a color or image overlay on desktop, this is automatically applied to your mobile site. However, if you add a video overlay, this will convert to a still image from the video on the mobile version of your site.
Setting the popup background
Choose to have either a color, image or video background on your popup. Depending on the type you choose, you can also adjust settings such as the visibility and scaling.
To choose a background for your popup:
Click Pages & Menu
on the left side of the editor.
Click Popups.
Click the relevant popup to open it.
Select the popup in the editor.

Click the type of background you want for your popup:
Color: Select a color from the Color Picker, or add and adjust a stunning gradient.
Image: Select your own image, one from Wix, or Shutterstock.
Video: Select a free Wix video or upload your own.
(Optional) Click Settings to adjust the background to your liking.
