Your template's background — the color or image behind every layer — lives in the **Canvas** tab, not on any single layer. Open the **Canvas** tab in the right panel to set it.

## 1. Set a background color

Click the **Background** swatch and choose a color, or paste a hex value.

## 2. Use a background image

To fill the canvas with an image instead, use **Background Image** — click **Pick Asset** to choose from your brand images or uploads.

## 3. Add a canvas border

Optionally frame the whole canvas: set the **Border Width**, **Border Color**, and **Border Style** — solid, dashed, dotted or double.
