Creating Custom Lobby Backgrounds

Each game now has its own lobby where players can gather and wait for the island to load, just like the original Fortnite lobby. You can use the default lobby background image Epic Games provides, or you can create your own lobby background that showcases some aspect of your game.

Select a spot on your island that represents your game, then use Photo Capture Mode to capture an image for your lobby background.

This tool is only available in Fortnite Creative. To capture a background image in UEFN, you'll need to use a different screen-capture tool.

See Lobby Background Image Guidelines for information about what makes a good custom lobby background image and supported file types.

Creating your own image is not a prerequisite for publishing your island. If you don’t want to create a custom lobby background, your island will use the default background for the current Fortnite season.

You can use the Photo Capture Mode to take your images, however the images will not be used in the Lobby until 26.30.
