VHS Scanlines
VHS Scanlines is a dark retro background built from a blue and purple palette. It reads as 90s, 2000s and throwback. It was drawn with social media posts, music artwork and posters in mind. Like every design in the Pixoate library it is generated, not photographed, so it renders pixel-sharp at any size — from a profile picture to a 4K poster — and you will not find it in anyone else's stock library.
What VHS Scanlines works well for
- Social media posts
Backdrops that survive being shrunk to a thumbnail in a crowded feed.
- Music artwork
Moody, textural backdrops for covers and release art.
- Posters
High-impact backdrops that hold up at print size.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I put my photo on the VHS Scanlines background?
- Open VHS Scanlines in the Pixoate Background Remover and upload your photo. The AI cuts your subject out and drops it straight onto this background — no manual masking. You can also pick it inside the Photo Editor, the Collage Maker and the Landscape–Portrait converter.
- Is the VHS Scanlines background free?
- VHS Scanlines is part of the Premium library. Premium unlocks all 1,800+ designs across every category, plus the rest of the Pixoate toolkit; the free tier includes a rotating selection of designs you can try first.
- What resolution is the VHS Scanlines background?
- Any resolution you need. The design is generated from a vector recipe at the moment you use it, so it is rendered to fit your exact canvas — a square profile picture, a 4K wallpaper or a print poster — with no upscaling and no blurring.
- Can I use VHS Scanlines commercially?
- Yes. Images you create with Pixoate backgrounds can be used commercially — in listings, ads, thumbnails and client work. The design itself remains Pixoate artwork, so you cannot resell or redistribute the background on its own as a stock asset.
