So many of us spend a good chunk of our day on a computer. Do we really want to spend that time staring at a default desktop background? A little individuality can go a long way in making your day.

Whether you’re trying to beat the Monday blues or gain some Friday afternoon inspiration, a fun and free desktop wallpaper is sure to do the trick.

How to update your desktop wallpaper

1. Visit interfaceLIFT.com
2. Determine your computer screen resolution
   Most of us don’t know our computer’s screen resolution. On the InterfaceLIFT homepage, your screen resolution is listed for you. Just look for the box that looks like the image shown below.

1. Select your design
   Browse through the images, search using the search bar in the top left corner, or use the filters on the top of the page to limit your search to your screen resolution specifications. When you find the perfect image, the one that is sure to brighten your day, move on to step 4.
2. Select your resolution and download
   Beneath the image you select, you’ll see a screen resolution drop-down menu. Select your screen’s resolution and click the download button right next to it.

1. Save the image
   Your new wallpaper will then appear in your browser. Before you can install it on your desktop, you’ll need to right-click the image and select save as. Make sure to save it to a folder where you can easily locate it.

How to install your wallpaper on a PC

Once your wallpaper has been downloaded and saved, you’re ready to install it. On a PC, simply select the Start button and find your settings. Then open the Personalization menu. From the drop-down menu, select picture. You can then click the browse button to search for your downloaded image.

How to install your wallpaper on a MAC

To install your new wallpaper on your Mac, open the Apple menu and locate system preferences. Then clock on Desktop & Screen Saver and click Desktop. On the left, select the folder your image is in.
