Go to bing.com on a computer and look at the caption on the homepage image: it names the place (for example a national park or city) and the photographer. Select the caption or its info link to open a short story and a search about the location.
How to find today's image location
- Open bing.com in a desktop browser. On phones, the image appears in the Microsoft Bing app and on the mobile homepage.
- Look for the title or caption over the image, usually at the bottom of the page.
- Hover over it or select it to see the location, the credit and a short description.
- Select Learn more (or the image title) to search for the place.
If you don't see the photo, check the homepage settings in the ☰ menu: some layouts let you show or hide the homepage image and news feed.
See previous Bing pictures
- On the homepage: some versions of the homepage let you step back through recent days with arrows next to the caption.
- Bing Wallpaper app (Windows): Microsoft's free app sets the daily image as your desktop background and lets you switch between recent images and read about each one.
- Search: search Bing for the place or the image title; the caption is usually unique enough to find it.
Set the Bing picture as your wallpaper
- Windows: install Bing Wallpaper from Microsoft. Windows 11 also has Windows Spotlight (Settings > Personalization > Background), which rotates similar photos daily.
- One-off download: when the homepage offers a download option for the image, use it; images are for personal wallpaper use.
The Bing homepage quiz
The daily image often comes with a short quiz about the place or topic, which also earns Microsoft Rewards points in supported countries. If you want the answers or a daily recap, the Bing homepage quiz answers are published every day.
Why does Bing change the picture every day?
A new photograph every day has been part of Bing since its 2009 launch. It highlights places, wildlife, cultural events and seasonal themes from around the world, and each image links to a search so you can learn more.
