Frequently Asked Questions
What is the "Adding Background Images to a Page" feature in QuoteCloud?
The "Adding Background Images to a Page" feature in QuoteCloud lets you place custom background images behind the content of a document page or template. It’s designed to help you create visually engaging, professional-looking quotes, proposals, and documents that reflect your brand and message.
Why should I add a background image to a QuoteCloud document?
Background images reinforce branding and improve visual appeal, making proposals and quotes look more polished and easier for clients to recognise. When used appropriately, they help convey tone, highlight key pages, and make documents feel more consistent with your company identity.
Which documents or pages can I apply a background image to?
You can add background images to pages inside QuoteCloud documents and to templates while editing them in the QuoteCloud editor. Note: background images cannot be applied to PDF pages.
How do I add a background image to a page in QuoteCloud?
Open the document or template in the QuoteCloud editor, select the page you want to change, choose the background image option, upload or select an image from your library, then adjust size, position and overlays as needed. Save the page or template to apply the background.
Can I edit or customise a background image after adding it?
Yes. In QuoteCloud you can customise background images after adding them — add overlays, resize or reposition the image, and adjust text placement so your content remains legible and well-balanced against the background.
Will adding background images affect the professionalism or readability of my documents?
When used thoughtfully, background images enhance professional appearance. To preserve readability, choose subtle images, apply semi-transparent overlays when needed, place text in clear areas of the page, and test the document on multiple devices to ensure contrast and clarity.
Are background images included or supported on exported PDFs?
Background images cannot be applied to PDF pages within QuoteCloud (per the feature constraints). If you need a background to appear in a distributed PDF, check your document workflow and QuoteCloud export options or incorporate the visual into the editable page before exporting.
What are best practices for using background images in QuoteCloud documents?
Use high-quality but subtle images, keep busy patterns away from text, use overlays to improve contrast, align important text away from focal points in the image, and maintain consistent branding across templates. Always preview the final document to confirm readability and professional appearance.
