How To Add Tooltip In Elementor Website [Easy Guide]

Are you looking for a way to add a tooltip to your Elementor website?

A tooltip is also known as a screen tip or info tip showing a text snippet hovering over any image or specific web element.

In this article, we’ll guide you through adding a tooltip and customizing its appearance using Elementor and PowerPack Addons.

Without further ado, let’s go ahead.

What is a Tooltip?

A tooltip is a tiny UI element that you can add over certain web elements to give more information to your users.

As the name suggests, it’s a tool that gives tips to users about an element or field whenever there is a trigger.

How does adding tooltips Improves User Experience on your WordPress Websites?

Tooltips are small pop-up boxes that provide additional information when a user hovers over or clicks on a particular element on a website. They can help improve the user experience in several ways:

• Clarify Meaning: Tooltips can clarify the meaning of words or phrases that might be unfamiliar or ambiguous to users. You have a technical term or acronym on your website; a tooltip can explain its meaning.
• Provide Context: Tooltips can provide additional context for your website’s images or other visual elements. For example, a tooltip can explain how to interpret the data if you have an infographic.
• Reduce Clutter: Instead of putting all the information on a page, you can use tooltips to provide additional information without cluttering the page. This can make your website cleaner and easier to navigate.
• Save Space: When you have limited space on your website, tooltips can help you provide additional information without taking up too much room.

Now that you know how beneficial it is to display tooltips on your websites, let’s see how you can add them to WordPress using Elementor.
