Background picture

Hello everyone,

 

I was wondering if you have any tips for the background pictures (Pages settings) in your Power BI Desktop reports.

 

The pictures I import usually do not really fit (too light or small). When I "adjust" my picture so It can fill the whole page, it turns out to be really ugly.

After a few tests, I realized it may come from the weight of the picture which has to be superior to 400 - 500 KB.

Problem : you cannot sort on the weight of the pictures on google images (Can you ?) but only colors, pixels... And it is not that easy to find heavy pictures which would fit.

 

So how do you do to have beautiful report with pictures fully integrated in the background?

Thanks a lot :]

 

Power BI is amazing !

    I have one that works perfectly but, to be honest, our graphics team created it for us. It is 1920X1080 and is a png image. Total file size is 63.9 KB. I use the option to fit the image and it works perfectly once I turn off the backgrounds on my tiles.

      What is your Page Size set to? And does it still look good when you change the Page Size? Could it be a vector image?

        Hi thanks for your replies. I fixed the problem.

        By the way, i notice that the "dynamic" page size has disappeared in the latest update.
