Gizmo’s Top 4 desktop wallpaper sites

Creating your own desktop wallpaper can be a bit tricky for someone who doesn’t regularly use graphic design programs, so most people are content with a stretched family photo. While this is good for some people, most people want a little more variety. In this article we show you where to get free desktop wallpapers from the web.

There are millions of sites out there that advertise that they have “free wallpapers”, however the vast majority also give you “free pop-ups” and most likely “free viruses”!

Gizmotechs spend a lot of time browsing the web so we’ve put together a list of 4 of the best (and safest) sites you can visit to fulfil all your wallpaper downloading desires.

TIP: Download wallpapers which match your screen resolution

Most desktop backgrounds come in different sizes. Downloading wallpaper which has the same resolution as your screen will mean that it will not appear stretched, warped or cramped.
Instructions for finding out the resolution of your desktop can be found on the Microsoft website at http://tinyurl.com/ytfcbc.
