How to Add or Change Page Background?

DocScan allows you to add a background layer to any page — using colors, textures, images, or shapes. This feature was originally designed for blank pages, but it’s also available for scanned documents to enhance or personalize the page design.

🔍 Note: This feature does not change the original paper color in a scanned document. It adds a visual background layer on top of the page.

Steps to Add or Edit Background:

➊ Open the Background Tool

There are two ways to access the background editing tool:

From document preview, tap the Edit button in the bottom toolbar, then tap Background.
In full-screen mode, tap the More button in the bottom toolbar, then tap Background.

➋ Customize Your Background

Once in the background editor, you can:

🎨 Change background color

Tips & Limitations

Adding a background doesn’t alter the scanned paper itself — it's an extra design layer.
On scanned pages, background color might not show clearly depending on how dark or complex the scan is. For best results, use on blank pages or light scans.

🖼️ Add textures or patterns

📷 Insert images

🔺 Add shapes like arrows, circles, and rectangles

Feel free to combine these elements to design a custom look for your page.

➌ Save Your Changes

When you're done, tap Done (top right) to apply the background.
