1. Fireworks Vertical

What really sets the 4th of July apart from every other holiday is the fireworks. Stores pop up in every town, booms are heard all night, and the sky lights up in dazzling celebration. Add some fireworks flair to any social media photo in this vertical format.

2. Fireworks Square

This one is nearly identical to the first template, but it features a square aspect ratio, perfect for both social media posts and custom profile pictures.

3. Fireworks Transparent Circle

This template also allows you to add a celebratory accent to your profile pictures on social media, with a circular border and transparent fireworks layers.

4. American Flag

This is the simplest background of them all – place your 4th of July picture right in the middle of the American flag to add a patriotic theme to any post.

5. Pride American Flag

A truer sense of patriotism celebrates the aspirations that justice seekers fight for every day. Bring Pride into July – and all months of the year – by celebrating the 4th of July with a rainbow American flag background frame.
