The pandemic is still up to this day. While some have already shifted back to a face-to-face setup, some still find comfort (and safety) in front of their screens.

There is nothing wrong with choosing to work or study online, but after almost two years of being stuck in the pandemic… maybe it’s time to spice things up - no, this is the sign to put a little fun in our online endeavors. You read it right, a little change wouldn’t hurt, say, how about your zoom background, but here’s the catch, it’s Ghibli!

As always, Ghibli saves the day by releasing 12 free Studio Ghibli-inspired virtual backgrounds featuring sceneries from their films. Just find a good spot with good lighting, and you’re good to go in showing everyone you’re in a Ghibli world!

Forgot to mention this, it’s compatible with all known platforms! You don’t need to worry about how you can fast cover the things around you or even spend a long time looking for a fitting background in your class, work, or video conferences. 

If you check out the official page, there’s a lot more they offered. There are also other non-Ghibli phone and desktop wallpapers you can choose from.

1. The Secret World of Arriety

This background actually looks like it’s your own bedroom! It's definitely something we would also like to hang as a painting on our own space.

2. From Up on Poppy Hill

Last but not least, the schoolboys!

3. Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind

A very intriguing background to choose from. A certain Jim Kang said, “Love the movie, one of my favorites from Ghibli. This background, not so much. I wish they did a screenshot of the movie.”

4. My Neighbor is Totoro

Fourth on our list is the magical scene in My Neighbor is Totoro! Though we would have loved the scene with the house in the tiny forest would have been much better!

Nevertheless, the photo is still fit for any event.

5. Howl’s Moving Castle

You guessed it right! It’s Sophie’s hat shop.

Another good background whenever you want somewhere out of your own room.

6. Kiki’s Delivery Service

You will surely feel a bit hungry when you choose this background for your phone. This photo of Kiki’s bread in the bakery she worked at is definitely the cutest thing.

7. Tale Of The Princess Kaguya

This one's a scene from the Tale of the Princess Kaguya. It shows a blossom tree where Princess Kaguya danced around in the film.

8. Princess Mononoke

A different take on your creative background. It’s the Forest spirit at night, also known as the nightwalker.

9. Spirited Away

This one is a gloomy scene from the 2001 film Spirited Away. It seems to be everyone's favorite, as per reactions online.

10. Castle in the Sky

Another peculiar but awesome background fir for your school presentations! Or if you just want to be cool, because it’s such a mysterious photo at first glance.

11. Whisper of the Heart

It’s a cameo of the baron from The Cat Returns in the Whisper of the Heart! It’s also a good scene for your background.

12. Ponyo

It’s time for Ponyo’s sisters to shine, at least in this background. Aren’t they just adorable?

Well, these pics can lighten up any Zoom meeting, and not just that. They can really brighten up your whole day.

You can download the images in 1920x1080, but of course, you’re free to trim and resize them to your liking. Happy choosing!

Comment down your thoughts or share these photos for all your family and friends to see!
