Add a Background Image to Your Event Page

Pick from 48 built-in backgrounds or upload your own, then tune the overlay so your event details stay easy to read (Entry and Pro).

Give your event page a look

A background image turns a plain landing page into something that matches your event. It also becomes the backdrop of the preview card people see when your link is shared. Backgrounds are available on the Entry and Pro plans.

Choose a background

  1. Open Templates, switch to the Landing Pages tab and create or edit a template.
  2. Find the Background image section.
  3. Pick one of the 48 built-in backgrounds, sorted into five categories: gradients, abstract, celebration, professional and calm. You can search by keyword in English or Spanish.
  4. Use the Darken image slider so text stays readable. Pale images usually need more.
  5. Save the template and select it on your event.

Because the background belongs to the template, every event that uses that template gets it.

Upload your own

Prefer your own artwork or photo? Upload a JPEG, PNG or WebP file up to 5 MB.

Uploads included: 10 on Entry and 50 on Pro.

To keep your page fast and safe, every upload is re-encoded into web-friendly sizes. This also removes hidden metadata such as GPS location. Animated images, SVG and HEIC files aren't accepted.

Only upload images you have the right to use. We can remove an image that infringes someone's rights or breaks our terms, and public pages that show an uploaded image include a Report this image link.

Try before you upgrade

On the Free plan you can browse the whole library and try any background on a sample event page, but a background is only published on events owned by an Entry or Pro account. If a plan ends, the image stops being shown, and your template is kept.

Tips

  • Photos with a calm area where the card sits work better than busy ones.
  • Check the page on your phone. Mobile crops images differently.
  • Keep file sizes reasonable; a 5 MB limit is a ceiling, not a target.
