Hi,

Hope you are doing well.

I am sharing the steps with you to add your own background image(along with screenshots).

1) Login to your account and then CREATE a new voki OR edit an old voki.

2) Then click on BACKGROUND image icon as shown in the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/sm1h5x

3) Once you will click on that icon, you will see a new icon i.e. 'background library' icon, click on it. Here is the screenshot:

4) Once done, you will notice an icon with '+' sign, that's the icon to add custom background, click on it. Here is the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/sm1nkp

5) The moment you click on it, a prompt will appear on your screen giving you to multiple options to add background from, click on the FOLDER icon. Here is the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/sm1p9n

6) Once added, you can choose the same background again and again from your background library.
