❗️Important: These instructions are for customers who purchased templates from The Hello Bureau. If you bought a template elsewhere, please refer to your original seller for guidance. We are unable to assist with templates that were not created by us.
Our templates let you add decorative images, such as florals, illustrations, or icons, while editing the design. This article outlines the available image sources and how to place them into your layout.

Please note: These purchases are managed by Templett and not affiliated with us.
3. Uploading your own images
If you already have custom artwork, you can upload it to Templett.
- Use the My Elements/Uploads panel to upload your files.
- PNG and SVG files work best for decorative elements.
- Uploaded images are saved to your account for reuse.
Positioning and resizing images
Once an image is added to the canvas, you can move and resize it freely.
- Click and drag to reposition the image.
- Use the corner handles to resize proportionally.
Images added this way are not clipped to a shape and will sit freely on the design.
Note: If your template includes photo placeholders with predefined shapes, those use clipping masks. For step-by-step instructions, see Using Photo Placeholders (Clipping Masks) in Templett.
Notes on image file types
- JPG images will always include a background. When added to a template, this background will appear as white.
- For transparent backgrounds, PNG or SVG files work best.
- If you’re using JPG artwork intended to sit over colour or texture, it’s best to convert it to a transparent PNG before uploading.
