# Upload an Image Wallpaper

Quick reference for publishing a single image straight from the desktop app. Walk through it interactively in the [first image wallpaper tutorial](/en/studio/creator/tutorials/first-image-wallpaper.md).

## Steps

1. Open the settings window in the desktop app and choose **Upload** in the sidebar.
2. Set the tab to **New wallpaper**.
3. Click the file picker and select your image (`.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.webp`, or `.gif`).
4. Fill in the form:
   - **Slug**: lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens. Cannot change later.
   - **Name**: display name shown in the store and gallery.
   - **Version**: `0.1.0` is fine for first release.
   - **Description**: optional.
   - **Tags**: for search and filtering. Press Enter or `,` to confirm each tag.
5. Click **Upload**.

You're done when the progress bar reaches **Done**.

## Recommendations

- **Resolution**: images are scaled to fit the desktop. Provide 3840×2160 or higher for 4K displays.
- **File size**: large images use more storage and bandwidth. Optimize before distributing.
- **Animated GIFs**: supported, but mind file size for long loops.
