Elevate your work with unique, high-quality backgrounds
Whether your audiences are colleagues, partners, or customers, they all see dozens if not hundreds of print and digital communications every day. To make sure that your work rises above the noise, consider using carefully chosen image backgrounds to help frame your content.
Particularly on social media and websites where people tend to quickly scroll or click through content, backgrounds can be the key to getting your audiences to notice your messages and pause to take them in. And when you don’t have time to create social and website background images from scratch, you can find images that align with your style on Adobe Stock.
For example, you can download ready-made Black Friday backgrounds to use in digital ad banners and printed flyers and mailers. Project confidence with bold backgrounds for sales presentation decks or video conferences. And announce new offerings by showcasing product images against sleek minimalist backgrounds.
How to discover the best background for a website and more on Adobe Stock
It’s easy to browse the Adobe Stock collection to find the background ideas you need. You can simply go to the Backgrounds page to browse by category.
Or, if you’re starting from the Adobe Stock homepage, click the dropdown menu at the top to change it from All to Images, and then type the word “backgrounds” in the search bar and hit Enter.
Search results will include millions of options, from solid colors to gradients to abstracts. To narrow your search, try adding more specific keywords in the search bar, such as “ocean waves backgrounds” or “geometric shapes backgrounds.”
You’re welcome to download watermarked versions to try them out in your comps, slides, or meeting screens before purchasing licenses to the non-watermarked versions.
