Background image tips

Brand & design Updated 9 Oct 2026 1 min read

Your deliverables adapt to every screen size, so background images are cropped differently on a phone than on a laptop. A few tips keep them looking good:

  • Use images up to about 1920 pixels wide. They stay sharp on large screens without slowing the page down.
  • Keep the important part near the centre. Edges may be cropped on narrow screens.
  • Choose calm images behind text, or use a colour, so the text stays readable.

Add a background with Section Background on the section toolbar, or Module Background in a module’s More menu. See Change section background.
