Customizing the canvas backgrounds within your site is a great way to add a unique look and feel to your site that will set it apart from the others. Whether you want to use your brand colors to help set the theme of your site, set a background image to display your work full screen, or even add a video to make your site come alive.

Typically, most canvases in your design will be set by default to a solid color option. Some canvases may utilize a canvas background image to create a visual impact with something like a large hero image. If you see an image on a canvas that takes up the entire canvas and which you cannot click to select, that is likely a canvas background image.

You can access the image by clicking the canvas it's on, and then going to the Canvas Background tab in the Properties Panel on the right.

You can then click between the mobile and desktop icons, so that you can customize your mobile and desktop canvas backgrounds independently.
