How to Add Social Media Links to Webflow Pages

Prepare Your Social Media Icons

Before you begin with Webflow, make sure you have your social media icons ready. You can design them yourself or download high-quality icons from free websites. Using SVG files is ideal as they maintain quality at any size.

Open Your Webflow Project

Log into your Webflow account and open the project you're working on. Access the Webflow Designer to start customizing your pages.

2. Place the section in a strategic spot like the footer or header for better visibility.

Add a Container

2. Adjust the width and alignment of the container to fit your design.

Insert Social Media Icons

1. Drag the Image component from the Add panel into the container.
