# Yandex Browser background

You can use the following media as a background:

- Photos from the [Background gallery](https://browser.yandex.com/wallpapers/) on your computer or from another site.

- Videos or dynamic photo collections from the [Background gallery](https://browser.yandex.com/wallpapers/).


{% list tabs %}

- From the Gallery


  1. Open a new [tab](https://yandex.uz/support/browser/en/search-and-browse/tabs-actions.md#create-tab).

  1. In the lower-right corner of the page, click **![](../_image/ntp-settings.svg)** → **Background gallery**.

  1. Select a photo or video from an album.

  1. Click **Use this background**.


  {% note info %}

  You can configure the browser to randomly alternate images or videos from your **Background gallery** every 24 hours.

  - **For one album**. Select the album in the **Background gallery** and click **Alternate these backgrounds**.

  - **For all albums**. In the **Background gallery**, click **Alternate** next to **All backgrounds**.

  {% endnote %}

  ![](../_image/tableau-gallery.png)

- From your computer



  {% note info %}

  To make links and buttons on a new tab easy to read, a blackout filter is applied to all backgrounds downloaded from the computer. You can't cancel this filter. If you want a brighter background, enhance the brightness of the original image.

  {% endnote %}


  1. Open a new [tab](https://yandex.uz/support/browser/en/search-and-browse/tabs-actions.md#create-tab).

  1. In the lower-right corner of the page, click **![](../_image/ntp-settings.svg)** → **Upload background**.

  1. Select an image.

  1. Click **Open**.

  ![](../_image/tableau-own-background.png)

  {% note alert "Restriction" %}

  You can upload `PNG` and `JPG` files as background images.

  {% endnote %}

{% endlist %}


{% cut "Start or stop animation" %}


Animated backgrounds look great, but they can drain your battery. To avoid this, pause the animation:

1. Open a new [tab](https://yandex.uz/support/browser/en/search-and-browse/tabs-actions.md#create-tab).

1. In the bottom-right corner, click ![](../_image/ntp-settings.svg).

1. On the background preview, click ![](../_image/animation-off-icon.png =20x).

![](../_image/background-pause.png)

{% endcut %}

 {#low-battery}

{% cut "Animation when the battery is low" %}


When your battery is low, animation turns off automatically. If you want to continue playing animation regardless of how low your battery is:

1. In the upper-right corner, click **![](../_image/settings-icon.svg)** → **Settings**.


1. Open **Tools**.

1. Under **Power saving mode**, deselect **Disable background videos when battery is low**.

![](../_image/animation-off.png)

{% endcut %}

 {#high-dimension}

{% cut "Playback in high resolution" %}


Animations playback in high resolution by default. If it causes [Yandex Browser](https://browser.yandex.com/) to work slower, set the standard animation quality:

1. Click **![](../_image/settings-icon.svg)** → **Settings** → **Interface**.


1. In the **New tab page view** section, disable the **High-resolution animated background** option.

{% endcut %}
