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.

Is the background really free with no watermark?

Yes. The image is generated in your browser and downloads as a clean PNG with no watermark, no sign-up, and no attribution required.

Can I use these backgrounds commercially?

Yes. You create the image from your own color choices, so the result is yours to use in videos, slides, thumbnails, websites, and product mockups.
