One of the best ways to make a boring screenshot stand-out is by adding an eye-catching background to it

Pika's screenshot editor lets you add 3 types for backgrounds to your screenshots:

  • Gradients
  • Solid Colors
  • Image Backgrounds

In the sidebar of all tools and templates, you'll see an option labeled "Background". That option opens a popup with 3 tabs, one for each type of background setting. You can switch to any of the tabs to see more options for that background setting

Each of these background options are customizable, and works with all tools and templates in Pika

Gradients

You can select a gradient of colors from the list. These gradients are thoughtfully selected, very natural, easy on the eyes and very appealing

You can also change the direction of the gradient as per your liking. Pro users can select custom colors for the gradient
