Methodology

How sources are chosen.

Visual Quality

OpenWall prioritises wallpaper-style images: scenic landscapes, clean compositions, strong desktop readability, and high-resolution files. Documentary, archive, people-focused, and low-aesthetic images are filtered out.

License Signals

The library favours public-domain, CC0, and free-to-use sources. License labels are treated as discovery signals rather than legal guarantees.

Recommendations

Recommendations compare saved wallpapers using stronger visual tags, categories, and moods. Generic tags are ignored so unrelated textures or workspace images do not appear just because they share broad words like clean or minimal.
