# 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.kz/support/browser/en/search-and-browse/tabs-actions.md#create-tab).
1. In the lower-right corner of the page, click **** → **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 %}
- 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.kz/support/browser/en/search-and-browse/tabs-actions.md#create-tab).
1. In the lower-right corner of the page, click **** → **Upload background**.
1. Select an image.
1. Click **Open**.
{% 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.kz/support/browser/en/search-and-browse/tabs-actions.md#create-tab).
1. In the bottom-right corner, click .
1. On the background preview, click .
{% 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 **** → **Settings**.
1. Open **Tools**.
1. Under **Power saving mode**, deselect **Disable background videos when battery is low**.
{% 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 **** → **Settings** → **Interface**.
1. In the **New tab page view** section, disable the **High-resolution animated background** option.
{% endcut %}
