Free software has always been looked upon quite suspiciously, and rightly so. When the internet was a playground of the scrupulous as well as the unscrupulous, there were many cases when that free wallpaper or software was actually a mischievous bit of code that would take over your computer. However, with the maturity of the user and the increase in the types of revenues that can be earned, there is quite some software that is available for free legally. Just one of these types of software is Windows 7 wallpapers.
Actually speaking, almost every graphic that you see in a digital format is Windows 7 wallpaper. For example, if you have taken a photograph in the required resolution, you can simply make it your desktop wallpaper by opening it in Windows Paint and setting it as your wallpaper. However, this does not mean that you would not need professional looking wallpapers now and then. There are several websites that offer free Windows 7 wallpapers.
These websites offer Windows 7 Wallpapers that cater to various niches and categories. Right from the wallpapers of the latest Hollywood movie to the classic rock band, there will be a website that will offer all kinds of wallpapers. Like while searching every other type of software and data on the Internet, you would have to be careful about the sites that you visit, and make sure that you have a good enough antivirus that will inform you any malware or viri that your computer may be exposed to, in case you visit a particular website.
Also, while looking for Windows 7 Wallpapers, keep in mind the resolution that your monitor is able to display. The common 19 inch flatscreen widescreen monitors are able to display imagery in 1400 x 900 pixels, so make sure that you have the wallpapers of the same dimensions, or else the image will not look as good as it should.

One another way of finding out whether the website through which you are getting the wallpapers is safe or not is to look at the type of layout that the website has. If you see that the layout is quite spammy (in the sense that it has too many of ads, too many of pop ups, and basically makes it difficult for you to access the actual file) it would be safe to steer clear of the website. And no worries, there are several websites that offer free Windows 7 Wallpapers.
On the other hand, just like how Microsoft offers free Windows 7 themes, it also offers Windows 7 wallpapers, known as backgrounds. All you have to do is to go to the Microsoft Personification panel through your computer, and you will find out all the wallpapers that are available for free. Microsoft also launches wallpapers whenever they have collaboration with any product, like a movie or a game, or if they themselves are launching any movie or game, like the video game Halo and the digital music device Zune.
