Background Image Control

The control has two buttons: Select and Upload.

If you want to choose a background image from our free collection of themes, click Select. You'll be taken to the Backgrounds screen. When you're done choosing a background, you'll return to the Main screen.

If you would rather use your own background image, click Upload. Browse your computer and select the image file. (.jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, and .bmp are accepted. 2MB max. ) Pick a large image so, if you choose a high background resolution, it won't have to be stretched to fit.

If the image is valid, you will see it appear in the square between the buttons.


The image will appear as your background the next time you generate one using the Preview, Download, or Auto-Submit buttons.

Background Dimensions Control

This control changes the size of the background image. Usually, this is kept on the default setting of Original and is only changed to stretch an uploaded background image that is too small.

Selecting a different background resolution will not effect the resolution of the sidebar, but it may effect the length of the sidebar. For example, if the height of the background image is decreased, then there is less room for the sidebar and information will be removed to shorten it.

The amount of the sidebar the user sees is determined by the resolution of the user's desktop and the size of their browser window. For example, if they're using a laptop and have a small resoltion - they're not going to see a lot. If they have a large monitor, they're going to see the whole sidebar.

Important: The sidebar does not scroll, because the Twitter background image does not scroll

Click the dropdown and then select the desired dimensions from the list.

Selecting Original keeps the background the dimensions of the original image.

You will notice the dimensions change the next time you generate a background using the Preview, Download, or Auto-Submit buttons.
