Question My desktop background is always blurry/pixelated

[ThatSourMelon]

Whatever I do, my desktop background is always blurry! I find pictures with the exact same resolution as my windows settings say it’s in, but whenever I set it to fill, fit, stretch, or span, it is always super blurry! I looked on the internet and nobody’s methods seem to work. I want an actual background instead of making it center all the time.

and what resolution? what the size of this background?
if it the same resolution, you shouldn't need to fill, stretch or span

My resolution is 2560x1440, I find photos with the same resolution and when its on any option (except for center or tiles) It is blurry!

when you pick center, it doesn't fill up the whole screen?
you sure you download the right image and not a preview?
take a screenshot, upload to imgur and post the link here

No, center puts a small picture in the middle of my screen

sound like you download the preview, not the full size image.
in windows explorer, right click on the image, properties->detail to see the dimension(resolution)

that doesn't sound like a standard resolution so that may be the reason you cannot find any backgrounds that will fit your screen right. is your monitor HD or 4K?

It is a standard resolution, it’s QHD. There is HD (720p), FHD (1080p), QHD (1440p), and UHD (21 something something, it’s 4k).
