5:4 is an unusual ratio: slightly taller than 4:3 and nothing like the 16:9 most wallpapers are made for. Set a 1920x1080 image on a 1280x1024 screen and Windows either stretches it (circles turn into ovals) or crops the sides off. Sizes here match the panel, so neither happens. Plenty of 1280x1024 monitors are still in use on office and secondary desks. Right-click to save — free, no watermark.

Common questions

How do I set one as my wallpaper?

Right-click the image and choose Save image as. On Windows, right-click the saved file and pick Set as desktop background; on macOS, open System Settings → Wallpaper and add it.
