How to Search for Cool Wallpapers Online

Author: Craig Lloyd / Source: How-To Geek

The default wallpapers that come with your computer, phone, or tablet aren’t necessarily terrible, but if you want to give your device a unique look, using a custom wallpaper is the best option. Here’s how and where to find cool wallpapers online.

Google Image Search

Perhaps the easiest way to find a cool wallpaper that fits your liking is by just using Google Image Search. Start by typing in what you’re looking for, followed by “wallpaper.

” Technically, you don’t necessarily need to tack on “wallpaper” at the end of your search term, but it makes it a bit easier to narrow down images that are high resolution and the correct aspect ratio.

Even then, though, you might want to narrow things down further, especially if you have a QHD or 4K monitor. When you perform a Google Image Search for wallpapers, you’ll find that 1920×1080 images dominate the results. You can be a bit more specific with your search and tack on extra keywords like “4K wallpaper” or “QHD wallpaper,” but you’ll get better results by using Google’s advanced search tools

After performing your search, click the “Tools” option below the search bar.

In the tools that appear, click the “Size” option, point to the “Larger Than” menu, and then you can fine-tune the resolution shown in the search results.
