Hey Elementors,
tooltips are those small bubbles that appear when you hover over an icon, a word or an image. They’re perfect for short explanations – a feature in a pricing table, a term in a text or a hotspot on a product image – without cluttering your page. Elementor itself has only very basic tooltip options, so many people use an addon for this.
These four addons have the tooltip features I find most useful.
... solution for Tooltip Widget
The Plus has a “Global Tooltips” feature, and that’s what makes it special: you don’t need a separate widget, you can add a tooltip to almost any element on your page. Text, images or even Elementor templates can be shown inside the tooltip.
Position, animation, colors and trigger (hover or click) are all adjustable. My favorite if you want tooltips in many places across your site.
... solution for Tooltip Widget
Crocoblock offers tooltips as an extension in JetTricks. Like with The Plus, you can add a tooltip to any widget – just switch it on in the Advanced tab and enter your text.
You can set the position, size, arrow, animation and colors. Simple to use and a good fit if you already work with the Crocoblock plugins.
... solution for Tooltip Widget
Element Pack also adds tooltip options to widgets, so you’re not limited to a single tooltip element. Besides plain text you can style the tooltip with your own background, colors, size and animations.
If you already use Element Pack for other widgets, the tooltips come basically for free.
... solution for Tooltip Widget
Essential Addons has a dedicated Tooltip widget. You place it like any other widget and choose the content (icon, text, image or shortcode) and the tooltip text that appears on hover or click.
It’s less flexible than the global solutions above, but perfect if you only need a tooltip in one or two places – and it’s available in the free version.

If you want tooltips all over your site, I’d go with The Plus or Crocoblock’s JetTricks, because you can attach them to almost any element. For single tooltips, Essential Addons is a great free option.
One thing to keep in mind: hover doesn’t exist on phones. Important information should never be hidden only in a tooltip – use it for extra details, not for the main message.
