Setting a wallpaper on your Mac is a great way to personalize your computer and make it feel more like your own. While there are many sources for wallpapers, one of the most popular is Google. With its vast collection of images, you can find the perfect wallpaper to suit your style and taste. In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting a wallpaper on your Mac using images from Google.
Step 1: Find the Perfect Wallpaper
The first step is to find the image you want to use as your wallpaper. Open your preferred web browser and go to Google (www.google.com).
Enter a search term related to the type of wallpaper you want. For example, if you’re looking for a nature-themed wallpaper, you can search for ‘nature wallpaper’.
Once you have entered your search query, click on the ‘Images’ tab at the top of the search results page. This will show you a collection of images related to your search term.
Browse through the images and when you find one that you like, click on it to open the image in a larger size.
Step 2: Save the Image
Once you have found the perfect wallpaper, right-click on the image and select ‘Save Image As’ from the drop-down menu. Choose a location on your Mac where you want to save the image, and click ‘Save’.
Step 3: Set the Wallpaper
Now that you have saved the image, it’s time to set it as your wallpaper. Go to the ‘Apple’ menu in the top-left corner of your screen and select ‘System Preferences’.
In the System Preferences window, click on ‘Desktop & Screen Saver’.
In the Desktop & Screen Saver window, click on the ‘Desktop’ tab.
Click on the ‘+’ button at the bottom-left corner of the window to add a new folder.
Navigate to the location where you saved the image in Step 2 and select it. Click on the ‘Choose’ button to set the image as your wallpaper.
Step 4: Adjust Wallpaper Settings
By default, macOS will try to fit the image to your screen size. However, if you prefer, you can adjust the wallpaper settings to ‘Fill Screen’, ‘Fit to Screen’, ‘Stretch to Fill Screen’ or ‘Center’.
To change the wallpaper settings, go back to the Desktop & Screen Saver window and click on the ‘Change Picture’ button. From the drop-down menu, select the desired setting. You can also choose to have the wallpaper change automatically at certain intervals by selecting the ‘Change picture’ option.
