Make sure no items on your canvas are selected. To do this, click outside the canvas in the gray area or click directly on the background of your design. This action will reveal the Background tool in the left sidebar, allowing you to customize the appearance of your design canvas.

 

Add a colour, pattern or gradient

Click Background on the left toolbar.

 

There are four options available under the Background tool:

  1. Brand Colors (available on paid subscriptions): Your custom brand colors will be displayed here, making it easy to match your design colors to your brand identity.

  2. Swatch Colors: Colors that you've swatched from your design will appear here for quick access.

  3. Gradients: Choose from a variety of pre-generated gradients offered by Venngage.

  4. Patterns: Select patterns to overlay on your background, visible through the color or gradient you apply.

Add a Brand Color or Swatch Color

Add your brand colors to My Brand Kit. Click on 'Background' in the left sidebar and choose one of your brand colors from the 'Brand Colors' section. 

Use the My Brand Kit shuffle feature to apply brand colors to the entire template. Select My Brand Kit from the left toolbar and click the Shuffle button.

Add a gradient

Under the 'Gradients' section, click on a tile to apply the gradient to the background of your design canvas.

 

Add a Pattern 

Patterns can be applied on their own or combined with another color or gradient. They can also be used alongside low-opacity photos set as the background layer of your design.
