Updated over a week ago

With our customization options, you can add a custom image or video as your Linktree background.

When you add an image background, you can choose between adding your own image from Facebook, Instagram, Google Drive, Dropbox, or URL. Alternatively, you can choose from the thousands of royalty-free images provided by Unsplash or showcase your NFT as your background.

When you add a video background, you can upload your own or choose from the selection of royalty-free videos provided by Coverr.

How to add an image background


  1. In your Linktree Admin, head to the Appearance tab.

  2. Scroll down to Background and hit the Image option.

  3. Here you can upload your own image, pick an image from Unsplash or design your image using Canva. If you have an NFT, you can also select your NFT as your background.

    🔔 Note: For our NFT background option, you'll need to select your desired NFT through your Metamask wallet. NFTs must be minted on the Ethereum network. We currently don't offer this option for NFTs available on the Polygon network, but we may have this option in the future.

  4. When you've made your selection, hit Upload.

Once you have uploaded an image, it'll automatically appear on your Linktree.

💡 Tip: Although we accept all file dimensions, we only accept files that are 10MB or less. For best results, we recommend that you use JPEG images with a square ratio (1:1) of 1920x1920.

How to add a video background


  1. In your Linktree Admin, head to the Appearance tab.

  2. Scroll down to Background and hit the Video option.

💡Tip: If you are uploading your own video background, we recommend an aspect ratio of 9:16 (landscape) or 16:9 (portrait), with a limit of 50MB for the video. There's no time limit to the video, only a size limit.

The following video formats are accepted:

  • MP4

  • AVI

  • MOV

  • WMV

🔔 Note: Your video will be automatically muted once you upload your video file. Your video will also play in a continuous loop.
