I spend a lot of time customizing every aspect of my laptop: sticking stickers on the top, sorting all my icons into folders on my desktop, and using my favorite GIFs as backgrounds thanks to a little trick I learned at TikTok in Google Chrome.
It’s a very simple process that makes Google Chrome feel a little more personalized. All it takes is a few seconds and you’re done with a gloomy white background like this:

To customize your own Google Chrome page, you need to:
- Find any GIF you want to use. Right-click to bring up the drop-down menu.
- After selecting the “Save As” option, make sure to add “.PNG” after the name.
- Under “Format” change the GIF to “All Files”. It should look something like the image below.
- Next, open a new Google Chrome tab page and click “Customize” in the lower right corner. The icon looks like a small pen or wand.
- You will be greeted with this screen. Click “Upload from device” and find the GIF you saved as PNG.
- And now, your Google Chrome page should play the GIF!
