Find Your Picture
Before you start changing your wallpaper, you’ll need a picture to use. You can search online for free wallpaper images that fit the size of your Mac display, or you can use a photo of your own.

Set the Picture as Wallpaper
To change your Mac wallpaper, open the System Preferences window by clicking on the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the desktop, then select “System Preferences.” Choose the “Desktop & Screen Saver” option. Here, you will see a range of desktop pictures you can choose from – or you can click the “+” button to add your own image to the list. Either way, select the new image and then press “Set Desktop” to change your wallpaper.
Customize Your Wallpaper

Here, you can choose an option to automatically change your wallpaper at a set time interval or set a slideshow. You can also choose an option to display the time and date on your desktop.
