Last updated: 28 April 2020

Japanese animation studio Studio Ghibli is offering wallpaper backgrounds based on a selection of its films for free.

If you have been relying on video conferencing these days, seeing yourself speak against the plain wall of your room may be starting to bore you.

But now, thanks to Studio Ghibli, fans of the well-loved Ghibli movies can now add a little of that Ghibli magic to video calls with these free backgrounds!

Do note, however, that while these backgrounds have been kindly provided by Studio Ghibli for personal use on video conferencing applications, they should never be used commercially in any way. Let’s take a look at some of these backgrounds!

Arguably the most well-known Studio Ghibli film, Spirited Away enchants new and returning audiences with the beautiful details of the abandoned amusement park the main character Chihiro finds herself stranded in.
