General News: I'm so sick of SEO! Burgers! Peafowl! Plaid slinkies! Things that have nothing at all to do with anything to do with fractals, wallpapers, free HD backgrounds, oh God I'm still doing it. Well, anyway, here's our cop-out 2014 wallpaper page. It's a cop-out because we contracted a team to develop an e-commerce site to sell professional licenses to use our fractal artwork, but are postponing the project indefinitely for reasons that are drawn out ad nauseum in various news updates on xangles.com/news and frangles.com/up. In the meantime, have fun using these for your personal desktop background ONLY. Please contact us for ANY other use. We will usually approve nonprofit uses. You can contact us through frangles.com/contact. --Chip
Finding the Right Size on this page (click the years above for all sorts of other images/sizes): Currently, all the following are aspect ratio 16:9 (or almost exactly; these have very slight letterboxing), or 1:78:1. If
you have a 16:9 screen* and don't see your exact resolution, click a
larger resolution and click that as your wallpaper. If you don't
have a 16:9 screen, choose a size in which both dimensions
are larger than yours. Whether your system scales, crops,
centers, or fits the image to your screen, you should be ok!
Fractals are very abstract and usually don't rely heavily on any
particular framing. There are also all sorts of sizes on the
links above.
[* To get your screen ratio, divide the horizontal by the vertical, such as 1600 / 900. If this equals 1.777(..), you have exactly a 16:9 screen. If it's larger than that, you have a wider screen (such as "21:9" or "scope"). If it's less, you have a taller screen, e.g. 1.333(etc):1 or 4:3. 720p and 1080p are exactly 16:9.]
Thumbnails/previews are 1024 x 576 displayed at 50%. Click to view at 100%.

USAGE: Xangles free wallpapers are currently for personal, nonprofit use. You may store a few images at a time on your drive for the purpose of a desktop background or to experiment artistically. We're building an immense stock art site where you may eventually purchase simple, affordable licenses to use our imagery professionally, some even on a starving artist's budget. Until that time, do NOT treat this imagery in the way of stock art (to print posters, CD booklets, etc.), and do NOT re-display the imagery digitally (such as on a personal website). If you have any questions, please tentatively use frangles.com/contact to contact Squish.
