The desktop visualiser now shows uploaded designs large and centred. When scene backgrounds are available, it shows the selected scene behind them. Custom design forms also accept WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP files. Shoppers get a clear message when a file type is not supported.

## What’s Changed

- **Show uploads on the stage.** Display accepted images large and centred in the visualiser. Arrange multiple uploads side by side and show the file name below each preview.
- **Use scene backgrounds.** Display the selected scene behind uploaded designs. Show background choices on desktop when a merchant enables more than one scene background. Do not show these choices for lightbox customisers.
- **Accept more image files.** Accept WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP uploads on every custom design form. Keep each file in the shopper’s original format.
- **Show clear file errors.** Show a merchant-editable message on the file field when a file type is not supported. Keep the general submission error for other failures.
- **Show document file types.** Show an extension badge for PDF, AI and EPS files when an image preview is not available.
- **Cover every custom design form.** Apply the upload and preview improvements to customisers with custom design forms for every sign product type.
