What makes a good podcast background image

A good podcast background is clean and uncluttered, uses colors that complement your lighting, and carries subtle branding without distracting from you. For video podcasts, download a 16:9 image at 1920x1080 (1080p) or higher; our backgrounds are 4K so they stay sharp on large screens and when you zoom or crop. Every background here is free to download and use commercially, whether you set it as a virtual background on a call or composite it behind your camera feed.
