To paste an image on your desktop, you first need to copy or cut it from its current location, and then paste it onto the desktop itself. Here's how:
-
Copy or Cut the Image:
- Copy: Select the image. Press Ctrl + C (Windows) or Command + C (Mac) to copy the image to your clipboard. Copying leaves the original image in its original location.
- Cut: Select the image. Press Ctrl + X (Windows) or Command + X (Mac) to cut the image. Cutting removes the original image from its original location.
-
Go to your Desktop:
- Minimize all open windows to reveal your desktop.
-
Paste the Image:
- Right-click anywhere on an empty space on your desktop.
- Select "Paste" from the context menu that appears. Alternatively, press Ctrl + V (Windows) or Command + V (Mac).
The image should now appear on your desktop.
