mai 2025-03-30: I love it! I have used my own photos and it has worked well. But, since Google Docs has recently updated, my rating is more like 4.5. The update includes document tabs and switching between them removes the background photo. Refreshing document pages brings it back but that is slightly annoying and interrupts workflow a bit. I enjoy using those tabs and wish the photos would stay after switching, i hope this extension can be updated soon as well !!
Camden Wolfe 2025-02-03: This extension does its job nicely, but I have noticed it causing a considerable amount of lag. Have you figured this out yet?
Thomas Martinez 2024-12-15: Works correctly for me. Very cool extension.
Penelope Jones 2024-04-21: It does not work
Corrupted Plasma 2023-02-22: Have been using it for 2 years now and I've haven't gotten a single problem, its unfortunate that not all images work but 95% of the time it will. Great extension thank you so much.

Axel N. Inca 2023-02-15: Tengo una pantalla muy grande y, aún así, se ve feo.
Yasmine Abdellaoui 2023-01-14: By refreshing the page you can change the background but when you close the doc and open it again, the background is no longer the same. Here's a suggestion which would improve the extension: adding the option of uploading your own image for the background. That's really the only criticism about the extention, otherwise it's fantastic! Edit: I just learned how to change the background! Find the extention's options and you'll be taken to a tab where you can paste the URL of the background image you want to use! I rate it five stars, it's a perfect app! 😍

Dusk108 (Dusk) 2019-09-23: I just wanted a black background to contrast with the white of the page when I'm viewing Docs for a long time. This is blowing my mind as I didnt even think this type of extension was an option. I'm even more excited to work on written projects now.

Eddy 2019-02-10: it works on the device.. for example when i try to have a background also in the google docs mobile app this doesnt work, the addon is only local... useless

Evan Ellis 2018-05-07: Absolutely stunning and amazing. Makes writing more fun and enjoyable. Very beautiful, highly recommended for anyone who writes a lot. :D Recommendation though: A great feature to have would be the ability to have several different custom images randomized. Right now you can only have one custom image. Having the ability to have a bunch would be really nice in future updates!
