These images are not full-resolution. Please download the uncompressed wallpapers from the link below.
The Space Telescope Science Institute has graciously providedall these images in full resolutionon the telescope’s own website. You can download the 4Kx4K resolution images in TIF and PNG format, so you aren’t losing image quality. Be warned, the resolution of these images can translate into pretty large file sizes, to the order of tens of megabytes. One advantage of high-resolution images is that you can crop and resize them as you like before setting them as wallpapers. Cropping and resizing do reduce the file size, though, so if you want to retain the original for different crops and edits, make sure you edit a copy of the image and not the downloaded file itself.
You can get either the NIRCam-only image or theMIRI-only image, or a composite of the two. You can also browse the catalog of the Space Telescope’s images and download other jaw-dropping shots to use as your wallpaper. More often than not, the resolutions are high enough for use on desktops too.
