Free Green Backgrounds: 64 Photos of Leaves, Grass, Moss and Green Textures

· 2 min read
Green leaves

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.
