# Publish Your First Image Wallpaper

In this tutorial you'll take a single image file and publish it as a Fluxlay wallpaper, all from the desktop app — no coding, no command line.

## What you need

- One image file (`.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.webp`, or `.gif`)
- The [Fluxlay desktop app](/en/studio/creator/how-to/setup/install-app.md) (macOS or Windows)
- A Fluxlay account with onboarding completed

> A high-resolution image works best — 3840×2160 or higher for 4K displays.

## 1. Open the app and sign in

Open the settings window from the Fluxlay icon in your menu bar (macOS) or system tray (Windows). If you're not signed in, click **Sign in** and complete the flow in your browser.

## 2. Open the upload screen

In the settings sidebar, choose **Upload**. At the top of the page you'll see two tabs — leave it on **New wallpaper**.

In the **Upload & Details** section, click the file picker and select your image (e.g. `photo.png`).
