FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes can I export?
You can export at HD (1920×1080), 2K (2560×1440), 4K (3840×2160), square (1080×1080), and vertical story (1080×1920). The PNG is rendered at full resolution, not upscaled.
What is a mesh gradient?
A mesh gradient blends several color points across the canvas for a soft, modern, multi-tone look — the style popular on landing pages and app backgrounds. This tool builds one from a base color plus two accent colors.
Does the background leave my device?
No. The canvas is rendered in your browser and the PNG downloads directly to your device. The tool does not upload the generated image.
Where can I use the downloaded background?
The PNG can be added to videos, slides, thumbnails, websites, and product mockups. Choose the preset that matches the canvas or channel you are designing for.

Please keep the credit line below the frame. It is the only thing we ask for, and because a link inside an iframe belongs to the framed page rather than yours, that one line outside it is what actually credits us.
