If you are tired of the standard Apple screensaver on the Mac lock screen, you can customize the interface by replacing the picture with a different wallpaper, add funny messages, motivators, and change the icon of your profile or other accounts on Mac. How to do this will be discussed in the article below.

How to Change Wallpaper on Mac Lock Screen
When choosing a new wallpaper for your lock screen, look for the image resolution to match or exceed your Mac display. To check your screen resolution, click on the Apple button in the lower left corner and select the "About This Mac" -> "Displays" option.

After uploading the desired image, the file must be converted to PNG format. To do this, open "View" -> "File" -> "Save As". Select.png" alt="Image
Next, open Finder -> "Go" -> "Go to folder". In the window that appears, enter / Library / Caches and click Go.

When the cache folder opens, drag the image and click "Replace".

Now, when you log out, the screen saver you selected will be displayed on the screen. However, if you change your desktop wallpaper, macOS replaces the custom image with the standard blurry version of the home screen.
