Custom Backgrounds Shopify Apps — Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which custom backgrounds app has the highest market share on Shopify?
VF Image Resizer+ currently holds the highest market share for custom backgrounds apps at 49.0%, but the category is competitive — Canva Connect is close behind at 23.6%. The right choice depends on your specific store needs.
2. How is market share calculated for custom backgrounds Shopify apps?
For custom backgrounds (a keyword page), market share is rank-weighted — apps at position #1 carry roughly 40× the weight of apps at position #22, and apps beyond #22 are excluded. Each app's weighted score is divided by the total weighted score across the keyword to give the share %. This reflects Shopify search behaviour: most installs come from the top of the results.
3. Which custom backgrounds apps are gaining market share on Shopify?
VF Image Resizer+ is gaining custom backgrounds app market share fastest this month, up +49.00pp versus 30 days ago. Switch the table sub-tab to "Market Share Changes" to see all gainers ordered by movement.
4. Which custom backgrounds apps are losing market share on Shopify?

United States drives the largest share of custom backgrounds app installs at 43.5%, followed by Germany at 7.2% and Canada at 5.8%. Use the country picker on the third card to compare market leaders by country.
6. How many custom backgrounds apps does ShopDigest track on Shopify?
ShopDigest tracks 96 custom backgrounds apps on the Shopify App Store. Market share, rankings, and review data refresh weekly so you can track competitive shifts as they happen.
7. Why does the highest-share custom backgrounds app differ from the #1 ranked app?
Rank reflects an app's current position in the Shopify App Store under custom backgrounds (driven by Shopify's own algorithm), while market share on ShopDigest is estimated from review counts and other factors as a proxy for active installs. The two metrics move on independent dynamics, so the highest-share app and the #1-ranked app are not always the same — and a divergence between them is worth noting rather than assuming one will pull the other along. For custom backgrounds, VF Image Resizer+ leads on share; see the rankings tab for who currently holds #1 position.
