           Yes, there is a way to make a background image fixed while scrolling in Webflow that works on both desktop and mobile browsers. Here are the steps to achieve this effect:
- Select the section or element where you want to apply the fixed background image.
 - In the Style panel, click on the "+" button next to "Background" to add a new background style.
 - In the "Background" dropdown menu, select "Image" and upload or select the image you want to use as the background.
 - By default, the image will be set to "Cover" which means it will cover the entire element. If you want the image to be fixed, change the "Position" dropdown menu to "Fixed".
 - To ensure that the fixed background image works on both desktop and mobile browsers, you need to apply another style specifically for mobile devices.
 - Click on the "+" button next to the "Background" style to add a new background style specifically for mobile.
 - In the "Background" dropdown menu, select "Image" and choose the same image as before.
 - Change the "Position" dropdown menu to "Cover" to make the image cover the element on mobile devices.
 - Now the background image will be fixed while scrolling on both desktop and mobile browsers.
 
By following these steps, you can create a fixed background image effect that is responsive and works seamlessly on both desktop and mobile browsers in Webflow.
Additional tips:
- Ensure that the image you use is large enough to accommodate different screen sizes without losing quality.
 - Test the effect on multiple devices and screen sizes to ensure it renders correctly and behaves as expected.
 
Example code:
.element {  background-image: url("/path/to/your-image.jpg");  background-position: fixed;  background-size: cover;}@media (max-width: 991px) {  .element {    background-image: url("/path/to/your-image.jpg");    background-position: center;    background-size: cover;  }}
