Admins have the ability to display full resolution images on the backgrounds of text cells. This feature has only been used a handful of times and is not available to the general public. There is an unspoken rule, however, that any user can request FP to add a background image to their worlds.

Background images have been a suggested feature since the inception of modern OWOT in 2017, and were realized not too long after the site's launch.

You can render a pre-existing background image on any world using the following script:
