Custom Images

Overview

To add your own custom image, follow these steps.

Steps:

1. Imgur is a free, no-registration image host that allows quick and easy uploads and is currently the only supported option for custom images on Screen Canvas. To get started, visit Imgur.com.


2. Upload your image by dragging it onto the webpage or by clicking New Post and uploading. We recommend an image size of 1920 x 1080 pixels or the same 16:9 aspect ratio for the best display.


3. Once the upload is complete, click on the three dots in the top right corner of the image and select Get share links.


4. Copy the 7-character image ID from the share link (note: do not use the image ID from the URL or the 'Copy Link' option; only use the share link ID).




5. Head over to Screen Canvas and navigate to Images in the main menu.


6. Click on the + button box and enter the 7-character image ID from Imgur. It is case-sensitive and must be an exact match.


7. Click Download and your image will be saved to your library for future use.


8. To delete a saved image, select it and long-press the select button on your Apple Remote for a few seconds. A prompt will appear—confirm by clicking Delete. Note: you can only delete images that you have added; preloaded images cannot be deleted.

Tips

• Ensure your Imgur image is appropriate for your design.
• Custom images are stored locally on your Apple TV.
• You are only limited by the storage space available on your Apple TV (Pro users).
• Use horizontal images with a 16:9 aspect ratio that are at least 1920 x 1080. Otherwise, Screen Canvas will crop images automatically to size, which may result in a portion of the image getting cut off.
