How to Download and Change Bing Wallpaper EasilyBing’s daily wallpapers are known for their high-resolution photography, striking landscapes, wildlife shots, and cultural moments. If you enjoy refreshing your desktop background or using these images on mobile devices, this guide walks you through simple ways to download Bing wallpapers and set them as your background on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. It also covers automatic updating, troubleshooting, and some tips for preserving image quality.

What you’ll need

  • Internet connection.
  • A browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari).
  • Optional: a Microsoft account for syncing, and third-party apps for automation.

Where Bing wallpapers come from

Bing features a new image (or a small set of images) on its homepage daily. These images are usually provided in multiple resolutions and sometimes include short captions or “image of the day” information. Microsoft licenses or commissions many of the photos and periodically highlights the story behind an image.

Method 1 — Download directly from the Bing homepage

  1. Open your browser and go to bing.com.
  2. Right-click (or long-press on touch) the main background image.
  3. Choose “Save image as…” (wording may vary by browser).
  4. Select a folder, choose a filename, and save.
    Notes:
  • The version on the homepage may be scaled for your screen; for higher resolution, use the Bing Image of the Day page (see Method 2).

Method 2 — Use the Bing Image of the Day page (higher resolution)

  1. Visit the Bing Image of the Day page: https://www.bing.com/gallery or https://www.bing.com/search?q=bing+image+of+the+day (URL may change).
  2. Browse the gallery to find the date you want.
  3. Click the image to open the full-size view, then use “Save image as…” to download the highest-resolution version available.

Method 3 — Use the Microsoft Bing Wallpaper app (Windows)

Microsoft offers an official Bing Wallpaper app that automatically updates your desktop with the daily image.

  1. Download the Bing Wallpaper app from Microsoft’s website.
  2. Install and sign in if prompted.
  3. The app will set the daily Bing image as your wallpaper and can keep a history you can browse.
  4. To save an image: open the app’s history and use the download option or right-click the desktop and choose Personalize > Background > Browse to locate the downloaded image.

Method 4 — Use third-party websites or extensions

There are websites and browser extensions that archive Bing wallpapers and offer easy downloads. When using third-party sources:

  • Prefer reputable sites with clear licensing info.
  • Watch for ads and avoid downloading executables from untrusted sources.
  • Verify resolution and aspect ratio before setting as wallpaper.

Method 5 — Download via developer tools (for advanced users)

  1. Open bing.com in your browser.
  2. Open Developer Tools (F12 or right-click > Inspect).
  3. Go to the Network tab and reload the page.
  4. Filter by “img” and find the background image request; open it in a new tab and save.
    This yields the direct image URL and often the highest available resolution.

Setting the wallpaper on Windows ⁄11

  1. Right-click the desktop and choose Personalize.
  2. Under Background, select Picture.
  3. Click Browse and select the downloaded Bing image.
  4. Choose a fit (Fill, Fit, Stretch, Tile, Center, Span) depending on your screen and resolution.
    Tip: For multiple monitors, set images individually via Settings > Personalization > Background > Choose your pictures and right-click each monitor to assign.

Setting the wallpaper on macOS

  1. Open System Settings (Ventura and later) or System Preferences.
  2. Go to Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop.
  3. Click the + button or drag the downloaded image into the pictures list, or click “Choose Folder…” to add the folder where you saved the image.
  4. Select the image and choose how it fills the screen (Fill Screen, Fit to Screen, Stretch to Fill Screen, Center).

Setting the wallpaper on Android

Option A — From the Photos/Gallery app:

  1. Open the image in your Gallery or Photos app.
  2. Tap the menu (three dots) and select Set as > Wallpaper.
  3. Choose Home screen, Lock screen, or both; adjust crop and tap Set.

Option B — Using a launcher or wallpaper app:

  • Many launchers (Nova, Lawnchair) and wallpaper apps support automatic daily changes. Install one and configure it to pull images from a folder or a Bing integration plugin.

Setting the wallpaper on iPhone/iPad (iOS)

  1. Save the image to Photos.
  2. Open Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper.
  3. Select the image from your photos, adjust the placement, choose Still or Perspective, and tap Set for Home, Lock, or Both.

Automatic syncing and rotating wallpapers

  • Windows Bing Wallpaper app rotates daily automatically.
  • Third-party apps (Windows, macOS, Android) can pull a folder of Bing images and rotate them on a schedule.
  • Use cloud storage (OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive) to sync downloaded images across devices.

Tips to preserve image quality

  • Download the largest available resolution matching your screen’s aspect ratio.
  • Avoid upscaling small images—choose Fill or Center settings to prevent blurriness.
  • If cropping causes important parts to be cut off, use an image editor to add borders or reposition before setting as wallpaper.

Most Bing images are licensed or provided with permission, but they may still be copyrighted. For personal use as wallpaper, downloading is generally acceptable. For redistribution, commercial use, or printing, check the image credits and licensing information on Bing’s image details page.

Troubleshooting

  • Image appears blurry: download a higher-resolution version or change the fit setting.
  • Wallpaper not changing automatically: check the Bing app or third-party app is running and has permissions.
  • Multiple monitors show wrong scaling: try different fit modes or create an image that matches combined monitor resolution.

Quick checklist

  • Use bing.com or the Gallery page for manual downloads.
  • Install Microsoft’s Bing Wallpaper app for one-click daily updates on Windows.
  • Use system settings on each OS to set the downloaded image as wallpaper.
  • For automation across devices, use third-party apps or cloud sync.

By following these steps you can quickly download high-quality Bing wallpapers and keep your devices looking fresh with minimal effort.
