Backgrounds and images

Use a built-in background, remove the background entirely, or—with Pro—upload an image and adjust it so the schedule remains readable.

At a glance

1
Open the background picker
Select Background to open the available background options. From here, choose a preset or select No background to remove the applied background.
2
Use a preset or no background
Choose any available preset to apply it to the schedule. Presets are available to all users. Select No background whenever you want to return to a schedule without a background image.
3
Adjust opacity and blur
Set opacity from 5% to 100% and blur from 0 to 20 in the background picker. Lower opacity or more blur can make event text, times, and grid lines easier to read over a detailed image.
4
Upload a custom image with Pro
With a signed-in Pro account, you can upload a custom JPEG, PNG, or WebP image up to 5 MiB for use as a background. After uploading it, adjust opacity and blur as needed to keep the schedule legible.
5
Know where an uploaded image is stored
Custom background uploads require a signed-in Pro account and are stored server-side with that account. They are available with the account on another device, but are not included in a JSON backup.

Review the schedule’s contrast after choosing a background, then adjust the theme or individual event colors if anything is hard to read.
