Wallpapers are fun. They give us inspiration, relaxation, and are a means of expression in an otherwise standardized work life. When I want to change the wallpaper on my desktop, I find myself rummaging through random wallpaper sites filled of annoying ads, popups or both. It is also hard to find the right size for different screen sizes (especially for my 30″ screen), supply is limited and the whole experience is generally annoying.
What I found out recently is that the secret to great wallpaper was right under my nose this whole time. Google Images!
To find quality wallpapers, you want to search for “[your topic] imagesize:1024×768″ where 1024 is the width of your desktop and 768 is the height. For example, try any of the following queries:
- nature imagesize:1600×1200
- apple imagesize:2560×1600
- cars imagesize:1280×1024
- wallpaper imagesize:1024×768
You get the idea. This way, I’ve been able to find a fresh collection of thousands of wallpapers easily for any size. Have fun and enjoy the redecorating!
