Out of all image formats supported by OnSign, PNG files have the option to be set to transparent or with a lower level of opacity. This characteristic is useful if you want to showcase the full background behind an image or add a frame to your Content. By comparing the two images at the end of this tutorial it will become clear.
- Create or edit an image in your photo editor with a transparent background and save it as a PNG file.
- Create or edit a Campaign in your OnSign account. Transparent backgrounds also work in Compositions.
- In the "Screen Layout" section of the Campaign editor, click “Add Custom Layout”.
- Add the Screen Divisions which will fit the Content you want to add. At last, create an overlapping layer for the transparent image (Zone 2 of the image below).
- Save this Layout by clicking on "Create Layout" or "Save Layout" if you adjusted an existing Layout.
-
Upload the PNG file and drag it from your Content library to the Campaign's Timeline.
- Finish editing your Campaign and check the Preview.
Without a transparent background, your Campaign would look like this.
Now, it looks like this:
- Hit “Save" and "Publish”.
