Where can I locate the actual wallpaper files/images on my MacBook? I don't mean in System Preferences> Desktop and Screensavers. I mean the location of the photos / images.

Original Title: Wallpaper files on MacBook

Hi,
The actual wallpaper image files on a Mac are primarily stored in /System/Library/Desktop Pictures for default Apple wallpapers, and user-added or downloaded wallpapers are typically in your user's ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.mobileAssetDesktopfolder or a similar location depending on your macOS version.
