How to Add an Image to the Hero Section in Hostinger Website Builder

July 20, 2025

If you’re building a website using Hostinger Website Builder and want to customize your homepage with a hero image, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.

Step 1: Log In to Your Hostinger Account

First, log in to your Hostinger dashboard. Once you’re in, go to the Websites section and find the site you want to edit. Click Edit Website to open the website builder.

Step 2: Create a Hero Section

To add a hero section, click on Add Section and choose Blank Section. Once it’s added, click on the section and select Edit Section.

Step 3: Set an Image Background

In the section editor, navigate to the Background tab. Switch the background type from “Color” to “Image.” Click Add Image and either upload one from your computer or browse free images directly from the platform.

If you’re going for a cleaner look, you might want to search for “white background” or “background” in the free image section. Once you find a suitable image, click Add to Page.

Step 4: Make the Header Transparent

To make your header blend nicely with the hero image, select the header using your mouse and click Edit Header. Go to the Style tab and choose the transparent option. This creates a seamless effect between your header and the hero section.

Step 5: Adjust and Publish

If needed, experiment with different images to get the right contrast with your header elements. Once satisfied, click Update Website to publish your changes and view the updated hero section live.
