Custom Background File Requirements
Custom Backgrounds must fulfill the following requirements in order to be uploaded successfully:
- Must be a JPG or JPEG file
- Must be bigger than 1,500x1,000 pixels

In order to get the right size, we recommend saving the image to your computer and then editing the size of the image in a photo editor before uploading.
