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. 

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. 

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. End users: Visit the Help Center to learn more about adding a cover image to your document.

Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on September 24, 2024
