About this background

For reports that get printed or exported to PDF: the Letter page size (816×1056) in a warm paper tone with a header rule, a footer rule and three content bands. Set the report page to Letter in Format page → Canvas settings before applying the background.

The top band fits three KPI cards, the middle band a full-width chart and the bottom band two charts side by side. Margins are 40px, which survives most printer safe areas.

Print backgrounds should be light; Paper & Clay's warm off-white avoids the stark look of pure white paper while keeping text at AA contrast.

Where to place your visuals

Page pixels. In Power BI select a visual, open Format → General → Properties → Size and position and enter these values (inset by 16px for padding).

Questions about this background

What size is the Paper Letter Report background?

It is designed for a 816×1056 pixel Power BI page. The standard PNG is exactly that size; the 2× PNG is 1632×2112 for sharper edges on high-resolution screens.

Where do I place my visuals on this background?

Use the 6 panel positions in the table on this page. Inset each visual by about 16 pixels inside its panel so rounded corners and shadows stay visible.

How do I set a background image in Power BI?

Select the page, then in Format page → Canvas background choose Browse, pick the image, set Image fit to Fill and transparency to 0%. In theme JSON the labels differ: JSON “Fill” is UI Fill, JSON “Fit” is UI Stretch and JSON “Normal” is UI Fit.

Why do my visuals hide the background panels?

Visuals have their own background and border turned on by default. Turn off Format → General → Effects → Background and Visual border for each visual, or apply the matching theme JSON, which does it for you.
