Minimalism on a desktop is really about discipline: nothing competing with your work, icons perfectly visible, zero noise. These files are stored full-size (1920×1080 to 3840×2160) because even a single thin line looks bad when it's compressed soft. The black fields also reduce OLED power draw. Right-click to save — free for personal use, no watermark, no signup.
