# Image banner
***
**The Image banner** section is a perfect opener. A lightweight section that can present a full-width image.
### 1. Our guide to set up an Image banner section:
{% hint style="info" %}
**Steps:**
* In the theme editor, click **Add section.**
* Locate **Image banner.**
* Click **Save.**
{% endhint %}
### **2. Section blocks:**
* **Heading:** Use the provided text fields to add a suitable heading/description. Leave any of them blank if you do not want to display them.
* **Text & Caption:** Click the **Text/Caption block** to customize its content. Add the content to the Description field.
* **Countdown timer:** display a live countdown for an upcoming event or sale. Use this block to create a sense of urgency or anticipation for your customers.
* **Buttons:** Click the **Button** block to customize its content. Connect a page or other URL with the Link field.
### **3. Image banner section settings:**
* Click on the **Image banner** section to open the section settings.
* **Image**: Select or upload one image. There are no required image dimensions but we recommend an image that is landscape (wider than it is tall). We recommend uploading an image with a minimum width of 2048px for optimal quality.
You can add a **link** to redirect customers to your desired page. **Enable parallax effect** and change **Image** **overlay opacity** if needed.
* **Banner height**: Section height options include: **Small**, **Medium**, and **Large**. Choose **Adapt section height to image size** to display the original image shape.
* Align the content to the Left, Center, or Right by selecting one of these options from the **Desktop/Mobile content alignment** setting **to build the best look for different devices.**
* Use the **Section width option** to control the maximum width of the **Image banner section** to **Full width** or **Fixed**.
