This guide shows you how to add background images to a page in QuoteCloud, helping you create visually engaging and professional-looking documents.
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 built to help you create visually engaging, professional-looking quotes, proposals and other documents that reflect your brand and message.
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 consistent with your company identity—useful when using sales quoting software or sales proposal software to impress prospects.
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 exported from QuoteCloud.
Open the document or template in the QuoteCloud editor and select the page you want to change. Choose the background image option, then upload a new image or select one from your image library. After adding the image, adjust size, position and overlays as needed, then save the page or template to apply the background.
Yes. QuoteCloud lets you customise background images after adding them—apply color overlays, change opacity, resize or reposition the image, and adjust text placement so your content remains legible and well-balanced against the background.
When used thoughtfully, background images enhance professional appearance. To preserve readability, choose subtle images, add a semi-opaque overlay or increase contrast between text and background, and avoid busy patterns behind important content. Preview pages on different devices to ensure your quote software or proposal software outputs remain clear.
Pick images that support your brand without distracting from the message: use muted or blurred photos, simple textures, or brand-patterns. Keep text areas clear, use overlays to improve contrast, and optimise images for web so documents load quickly. These practices help your sales quoting software and proposal documents look polished and load reliably for clients.
Yes. Add background images directly to templates while editing to reuse the same background across multiple documents and pages. Saving backgrounds in templates helps maintain consistent branding across your quote software and proposal software outputs.
