Designing Backgrounds
Design backgrounds that look great on any device
Adding a background image to your booth’s homepage is a great way to showcase your brand’s personality.
Designing Backgrounds
The most important thing to remember is that backgrounds need to be flexible. A design that looks perfect on a computer might be cropped or hidden on a phone. Choose graphics and sizes that translate well across all screen dimensions.
Virtual Booth supports two types of backgrounds:
Full-screen backgrounds
Repeating backgrounds
Full-Screen Backgrounds
Full-screen backgrounds work best as subtle design elements or textures, rather than detailed images meant to fill the entire screen.
Think of full-screen backgrounds more like watermarks—something that adds atmosphere without needing to be fully visible.
Abstract or patterned designs generally look good at any crop or zoom level
Scenes with distinct elements or text that may be cut off or hidden on smaller screens
Specs
A range of sizes can be used.
Recommended starting size: 1,920 × 1,080px. JPEG or PNG files supported.
Repeating Backgrounds
Repeating backgrounds are a reliable option when you want a consistent, tiled look across all screens. Once uploaded, your file will automatically repeat to fill the page.
Follow the size recommendations below to get the right effect.
Specs
Recommended size range: 50 × 50px to 300 × 300px (any aspect ratio).
Larger file sizes create larger tiles on the page. JPEG or PNG files supported.
Background Opacity
Highly opaque or bold backgrounds can make your booth feel cluttered or make text hard to read. If your design uses strong colors or patterns, consider adding transparency to soften the effect. Strategically-chosen font colors can also resolve any issues.
Background opacity can be adjusted directly in your settings to find the right balance between visibility and readability.
Opaque backgrounds display your selected background color behind the image, allowing you to combine both for a more custom look. Opaque backgrounds will display the selected behind your image, meaning these tools can be used together for unique effects.
