Background Images (Theme)
Vibe Templates are linked to a pool of background images associated with your Theme, which are applied to all slides by default. However, since all slides are customizable, you can individually adjust the background by uploading a custom image for each slide.
- If the Background field toggle is 'on', the slide will display a random image from the Theme Backgrounds each time it appears onscreen.
- If the Background field toggle is 'off' you can select or upload an image from the image manager, and images in the Theme will not be used.
Design Requirements
Visual Ideas
- You can provide any number of images, though a suggestion of 5 to 10 images is ideal.
- Image content could suit a wide range of slide content, including:
- Location shots, such as exterior and interior building photos.
- Workplace or product shots relevant to your brand.
- Seasonal imagery that can be updated throughout the year.
- Textures that align with your organization’s brand and aesthetic.
- Minimal detail is often preferable. Avoid overly complex or high-contrast images that might distract from your content.
File Size
- Standard Landscape: 1920px (W) x 1080px (H)
- Standard Portrait: 1080px (W) x 1920px (H)
- Square Images (for both landscape and portrait): 1920px (W) x 1920px (H)
- Preferred: JPG (compressed for optimization)
- Other accepted formats: PNG, GIF
Tips
- Avoid logos on background images—use the Logo Image field for brand logos instead.
- You can create multiple location-specific themes to tailor your background imagery for different settings. (Check your Vibe Plan)
- For easy access, set up a "Backgrounds" folder for your team to manage and upload images as needed.
