What's changing
We’re making it easy for you to personalize and differentiate documents with full-bleed cover images that extend from one edge of your document to the other.
Whether you’re customizing a document for a customer with industry themes, personalizing an onboarding document for a new employee or building a virtual brochure for your company’s products, cover images help set the tone for a document by adding relevant visuals.
You can add cover images from our curated gallery or upload your own image. To insert, you can either:
Click the new “Cover image” chip at the top of your Doc (similar to the ones introduced last year). Go to Insert > Cover image > Upload from computer or Choose from stock images. Type “@” followed by Cover image > Upload from computer or Choose from stock images.
Additional details
Cover images can only be added to documents set to pageless mode, allowing the image to span the entire width of the document. To set up the more immersive experience of pageless mode, go to File > Page setup > Pageless or Format > Switch to Pageless format.
