  2. On the preview of the proposal, simply select the Edit option and upload your custom image file.

  3. Optional: If you would like to alter the design of your proposal, we offer 8 different theme styles. Select the Cover option to view and apply your preferred theme.


How to upload a background image to invoices

FAQs

I don’t see the option to add a header image to my proposal or invoice.

  • If you don't see the option to upload a file, ensure that you are still editing your proposal/invoice. If it's already been sent to your client, you won’t be able to edit the background image

The image I uploaded appears blurry, how can I fix it?

  • As a first step, ensure that your image aligns with our recommended dimensions above. Images that are 1800px or more are ideal, as that width will be displayed fully and on retina screens clearly.
