What is the Divi Mask Text module?

Mask Text is a Divi 5 module in Divi Supreme Pro that shows an image through the letters of a heading. It works best with big, heavy type, where the photo reads clearly inside the shapes.

Pick the background image, then its size (cover, fit or actual size), position and repeat, just like a Divi background. Choose the heading tag from H1 to H6, div or span, and set the font, weight and size in the design settings.

Questions about Mask Text.

What does Mask Text do?

It uses an image as the fill of your heading, so the photo shows only inside the letters.

Which image works best?

High-contrast photos or bold textures, with large, heavy type. Thin fonts show too little of the image.

Can I move the image inside the letters?

Yes. Use Background Image Position to anchor it top, centre, bottom and so on, and Background Image Size to cover, fit or show it at its actual size.

Can the image repeat?

Yes. Background Image Repeat offers No Repeat, Repeat, Repeat X, Repeat Y, Space and Round, which suits small patterns.

Is it still real text?

Yes. The heading stays real text in the tag you choose, so it can be selected and read by search engines.

How is this different from Gradient Text?

Gradient Text fills type with a colour gradient. Mask Text fills it with an image.

Does Mask Text work with Divi 5 and WPML?

Yes. It is a native Divi 5 module, text and image support dynamic content, and it can be translated with WPML.
