Canvas: Add an Image to a Course Card in the Dashboard

You can upload an image to display behind the course card in the Canvas Dashboard. Accepted images include JPG, JPEG, GIF, and PNG files. For best practice, images should be approximately 262 pixels wide by 146 pixels high.

When added to a course, images display behind a color overlay in the course card. The overlay color is a user setting defined individually by each user in the Dashboard.

Removing Color Overlays

You can remove color overlays altogether on your Dashboard.

  1. From the Canvas Dashboard, select the vertical ellipses in the upper right, then select Color Overlay to uncheck it.
    Canvas dashboard, vertical ellipses expanded, Color overlay (checked) highlighted.

Although the color overlay can be completely removed, best practice is to use an image that will display well behind a variety of colors.
