How to make a Scratch backdrop bigger?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

To make a Scratch backdrop bigger, you can edit it in a photo editor and increase the image dimensions, or you can print it at a larger size if you are using a printing service. The backdrop itself does not stretch.

If you have a digital Scratch backdrop file, the simplest way to make it bigger is to open it in any photo editing software and increase the canvas size or image resolution. Save it as a high-quality file, such as a PNG or JPEG, before sending it to a printer. If you are printing at home, you can tile the image across multiple sheets and join them, though this takes patience and careful alignment.

For a printed backdrop, the size is set when you order. Many print shops let you choose custom dimensions, so you can ask for a larger version of the same design. If you already have a printed backdrop that is too small, you can mount it on a larger board and add a border or extra panels around the edges. Another option is to place it higher on a stand and add fabric or paper below to fill the space.

Remember that making an image much larger than its original resolution can make it look blurry or pixelated. Check the file's pixel dimensions first. If the image is low quality, you may need to recreate the design at a higher resolution or choose a simpler pattern that scales well.
