Key Points to Remember
- You can set internet pictures as desktop backgrounds on browsers like Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.
- Opt for images with good size and resolution to avoid blurriness or excessive file size.
- Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera do not offer direct options to set internet images as wallpapers, while Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer provide this feature.
Selecting the Perfect Desktop Image
Prior to setting an internet image as your desktop wallpaper, you must find an image that resonates with you. Several websites offer high-quality background images for free, such as Wallpapers.com.
Ensure the chosen image has adequate size and resolution. Images smaller than your screen's resolution may appear distorted when scaled. Opt for images larger than your screen's resolution, but be mindful of their file sizes, as they can occupy significant disk space.
