Add a background in Scratch

Let’s start by giving our project a background.

Below the scene, you’ll see that there are four options for creating backgrounds, each with an icon:

• Choose a library background

• Painting a background

• Choose a random background

• Import background from file

Add background from library

Click on the “Choose a Backdrop” icon to display the Scratch image library.

Painting a background

Click on “paint” to create a new background.

Then you can draw the background of the scene using the drawing tools.

Choose a random background

Click on “surprise” to randomly insert a background into the scene.

Import background from file

Click on “Upload Backdrop” to add a background in the scene of images stored in the storage media (hard disk, CD, Flash disk, etc.).
