Free Green Backgrounds: 64 Photos of Leaves, Grass, Moss and Green Textures
64 free green backgrounds from the BigFoto library, all real photos: plain green walls, boards, cloth and glass, fresh leaves, ferns and nettles that fill the whole frame, lawns, meadows and young fields, moss and treetops from above, and a small set of stones and fossils photographed on a green backdrop. We found them by measuring the colours of every photo in the library and kept the ones where green fills most of the frame.
How to download: click a photo to see it large, then use Download. The originals are about 1200 × 800 pixels: right for blog posts, slides, social media, school projects and video call backgrounds.
Plain green backgrounds and textures
Green from edge to edge: a painted wall, fibreboard, crumpled cloth, stacked crates, bottles from above, a wire fence, moss on bark and on a wall, clear water over green stones and treetops seen from above.
Green leaves
Leaves that fill the whole frame: nettles, maple, lady’s mantle with dew, a palm leaf, ferns, horsetail and young pine shoots, some with raindrops.
Grass, meadows and fields
A golf green, lawns and pastures, a meadow with dandelions, young corn and wheat in rows, tracks across a field, an orchard on a hill and a hut on a steep green slope.
Life in the green
A dragonfly and a damselfly, a fly on a leaf, water lilies, a poppy and rose hips among green leaves, a dandelion clock, a hen, a horse and a reindeer in the grass.
Stones and fossils on green
Crystals, fossil coral and pebbles photographed on a plain green backdrop.

Questions about these green backgrounds
Can I use these green backgrounds for free?
Yes, for personal and commercial projects. All we ask is a link back to BigFoto.com; the box at the top of the page has a credit link you can copy.
Which ones work best behind text?
The plain green wall, the fibreboard and the crumpled cloth are even from edge to edge. The leaf close-ups and the lawns are livelier but still calm enough for white text.
Can I use one as a green screen?
Not really: a green screen needs one flat, evenly lit colour, and these photos all have texture. The plain green wall comes closest, but for keying in a video editor a plain digital green works better.
Are these real photos?
Yes, every one is a photo from the BigFoto library. None of them is AI-generated.
