      @wolfgangw If you open an image in Opera, right click on it and then in Use Image As Wallpaper, does it work?

              In settings (not the sidebar) go to Enable Wallpapers.

              SnapShot_230527_092140.jpg

              You will notice the one on the top left is not from Opera.
              Click the button "Add your wallpaper" and upload an image. Then select it.

                  File types? The one in the example is .jpg

                  See if it that's the issue.

                        @wolfgangw Are you using Opera GX by chance? There seems to be an issue regrading wallpapers that is affecting some users.

                            @wolfgangw latest version is 99.0.4788.31/, check if the problem still happens in that version.

                                Can't you solve my problem that some pictures (about 10%) are suitable as a background and others (about 90%!) not??
                                However, all downloaded images are available as thumbnails!!

                                    @wolfgangw Because no one has a solution?

                                      @wolfgangw Most logical guess would be to think of something related to format and size.

                                        What a pity that you cannot help me!
                                        It's very strange:
                                        All images are formatted in JPEG, various sizes!
                                        And yet some (about 10%) are accepted as background, others are not (although the same size)!!
                                        Maybe it's OPERA?

                                          @wolfgangw If you upload the problem images somewhere, we can test to see if we have the same issue in our Operas or not.

                                            Same issue in a test standalone installation?
