Backgrounds

Set a background on any screen with the Fill panel under Screen settings. Pick from four background types — solid color, gradient, image, or video.

Image

Flow builder background image

Upload a .JPG, .PNG, .GIF, or .WEBP file up to 20 MB. The image scales to cover the entire background.

Background images and videos fill the entire viewport, including areas behind the notch and system bars — even when Safe area is enabled. Keep important content away from the edges to avoid clipping.

To swap the background image at runtime from your app code, enable a custom media ID.

Video

Flow builder background video

Upload an .MP4 or .WEBM file up to 50 MB. The preview shows a still frame — but the video plays on device at runtime.

Toggle Loop to replay the video continuously.

To swap the background video at runtime, enable a custom media ID.

Solid color

Enter a hex value and set opacity from 0 to 100%. Pick a saved color style from the swatch to apply your brand color — the background follows your light and dark themes automatically.

Gradient

Build a multi-stop linear gradient:

  • Direction — rotate the gradient from 0 to 360°.
  • Stops — drag along the bar to reposition. Click a stop to edit its hex and opacity.
