Create custom background

You can create a map with a background of your choice using our CUSTOM BACKGROUND template.

There are different ways of creating your own customized background: 

  • Creating a background without text input. 
  • Creating a background with text input.  
  • Creating regions within a map.

To create a custom background without text input


1. Navigate to your GroupMap homepage and click Create a map.




2. In the template category sidebar, click Blank.




3. Select the Custom background template.




4. Within the map customization window, click Design.




5. Click Upload background. We recommend 800x500, but the image will stretch to fit.




6. You can choose an existing background in the Library tab.




7. Or upload your own in the Uploads tab.




  1. If you do not want participants to add any ideas to the background, delete all the regions on the map. Click on the region, then on the trash bin, and REMOVE. Repeat the process for all regions.




  1. When ready, click Save changes.
