Milestone backgrounds
Little ships 73 backgrounds across 10 categories, and 17 of them are drawn artwork rather than rendered gradients. Every mat you make stores its own background, so you can keep one tone for the whole year or change it every month. Beige is the default, and nothing you have already made ever changes when a new design lands.

How backgrounds work in Little
A background is the bottom layer of a mat. Your photo sits on top of it as a cutout lifted on your iPhone, with an age badge and any stickers above that. Because everything is rendered on your device rather than fetched from a server, a mat looks the same offline as it does online, and the export is generated at full resolution when you save it rather than being upscaled from a preview.
Free accounts get a selection of backgrounds. Any paid plan unlocks all of them, and Lifetime includes every design added later.
