Can I upload my own background image?
Yes. KIPZO Short Builder accepts an image as the Short background.
SHORT VIDEO BACKGROUNDS
Add a Background to a Short Video
A background can turn a plain clip into a complete vertical composition. It can establish a location, theme, mood or brand while the main video sits above it in a resizable window.

Upload a background image, make it fill the 9:16 canvas, adjust its visual strength and then place the floating video where it stays easy to watch.
Choose a background with usable space
The best background is not always the busiest image. Look for areas where the floating video and text can sit without covering important details.
Reduce competition with styling controls
If the background draws too much attention, lower saturation, reduce brightness or add blur. A subtle tint can also unify colours.
KIPZO tip: Build the complete 9:16 layout visually before recording. It is easier to spot video-size, text-position and background problems before you capture the final Short.
Match the background to the story
A football clip might use a stadium scene, a retro clip could use a period room, and a game clip could use themed artwork.
Check the final vertical crop
Background images often start in landscape or square format. A 9:16 builder lets you see the actual vertical crop before recording.
