How to Make Desktop Wallpaper
- 1). Visit a virus-free website that offers images of free desktop backgrounds. Categories may range from animals to flowers and technology to movies. Choose a category and review the images offered. Once you have found an image, select the size and resolution, then right-click on your mouse.
- 2). A prompt will appear with several options. Scroll down to the option that says "Save Picture As." Left-click on this option. Another prompt will appear, asking you to name the file. Choose a file name that it easily remembered. Choose .jpg as the "Save as Type." If .jpg is not available, select the only option given. Save the image in the "My Pictures" folder or on another drive, if desired.
- 3). Minimize or close all screens and go to the file folder that stores the saved image. Once you have found the image, right-click on it. Choose the option "Set as Desktop Background." Left-click on the option.
- 4). Once you have completed Step 4, minimize or close the file folder. Your new desktop wallpaper should appear on the screen.
- 5). Alternately, you can upload images to your computer from your digital camera. Find a picture you like and rename it as "Desktop 2." Use this image as your next desktop wallpaper.
