Farm Background Generator
Make a farm background: a barn with a gambrel or gable roof and a silo beside it, fields of crop rows running away to one point on the horizon, a post-and-rail or wire fence, rolling hills fading into the haze and round trees, in spring (young rows and blossom), summer (deep green rows) or winter (snow on the fields and bare trees), at early morning, on a clear day, in summer evening light, under cloud or at night under the stars. Pick a preset or set your own: the barn roof, colour and size, the silo, a windpump, how many crop rows, fence posts and trees, how many layers of hills, the haze, the mist, falling snow, the clouds and the stars. Every picture comes from a seed number: the same seed and size always give the same farm, and New seed gives you a new one. Choose desktop, 4K, phone, a 16:9 video-call background (for Zoom, Teams or Meet), tablet, square, banner or your own size up to 4096 pixels. It is artwork drawn by our code, not a photograph and not any real farm. Download a PNG or JPG, or a PDF to print. Nothing is uploaded.

The crop rows and the vanishing point
| Row edge at the bottom (x, y) | At the field top (x, y) | Line reaches the horizon at x = |
|---|---|---|
| 95.2 px, 1080 px | 876.6 px, 648 px | 1072 px |
| 201.8 px, 1080 px | 897.9 px, 648 px | 1072 px |
| 308.5 px, 1080 px | 919.3 px, 648 px | 1072 px |
| 415.2 px, 1080 px | 940.6 px, 648 px | 1072 px |
| 521.8 px, 1080 px | 961.9 px, 648 px | 1072 px |
Worked out by the tool for the first preset (desktop, 18 rows across): the vanishing point is at x = 1072 px on the horizon at y = 540 px; the field starts at y = 648 px. Every row edge, extended, reaches the horizon at the vanishing point.
The fence posts
| Post | Foot at y | 1 ÷ (y − horizon) | Step from the last post | Height |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Post 1 | 1063.8 px | 0.001909 | – | 157.1 px |
| Post 2 | 934.1 px | 0.002537 | 0.000628 | 118.2 px |
| Post 3 | 855.9 px | 0.003165 | 0.000628 | 94.8 px |
| Post 4 | 803.6 px | 0.003793 | 0.000628 | 79.1 px |
| Post 5 | 766.2 px | 0.004422 | 0.000628 | 67.8 px |
| Post 6 | 738 px | 0.005050 | 0.000628 | 59.4 px |
Worked out by the tool for the first preset (desktop, the nearest six posts): the step is the same from post to post, so the posts stand evenly on the ground; every post foot lies on one line through the vanishing point, and each post is 0.3 × its height below the horizon.
The barn and silo parts
| Part | How it is built |
|---|---|
| Gable end wall | 216 px wide, 118.8 px high (0.55 × the width) |
| Gambrel roof | Knees 0.34 × the width out from the centre and 0.27 × the width above the eaves; ridge 0.40 × the width above the eaves (86.4 px) |
| Gable roof (option) | One slope each side; ridge 0.36 × the width above the eaves |
| Side wall and roof | Each receding edge runs to the vanishing point; the back corners are the front corners pulled 38 % of the way to it |
| Door | 77.8 px × 73.7 px (0.36 × the width by 0.62 × the wall height) with a cross brace; a loft door above |
| Silo | 64.8 px wide (0.3 × the barn), body 194.4 px tall (3 × its width), a half-circle dome of radius 32.4 px, five hoops |
| Windpump (option) | A lattice tower with cross braces, an 18-blade wheel of radius 0.16 × the tower height, and a tail vane |
Pixel sizes worked out by the tool for the first preset (desktop). Every part is a polygon worked out by our code; there are no image files.
How the far hills fade
| Hill layer | Mixed towards the haze | Colour | Brightness (0–255) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (farthest) | 72 % | #adc6b9 | 191 |
| 2 | 52 % | #91b092 | 167 |
| 3 | 32 % | #769c6e | 145 |
| 4 (the farmyard) | 15 % | #5e894c | 124 |
Worked out by the tool for the first preset (4 hill layers in front of the sky, desktop): the farther the hill, the more haze and the lighter the colour. Each layer’s haze share is the haze setting × (1 − its place from the back ÷ (layers − 1))^1.15; the field in front keeps its own crop colours.
The 3 seasons
| Season | What changes | Crop rows | Soil or furrows |

| Spring | fresh green, young rows, blossom | #86c24a | #6b4a32 |
| Summer | deep green, tall rows | #3f8a2a | #5a3d26 |
| Winter | snow on the fields | #f8fbfd | #bcc6d3 |
Colours on a clear day; the other lights tint them.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a photo of a real farm?
No. Every barn, silo, fence, crop row, hill and tree is drawn by our own code from the seed: it is artwork, not a photograph, and it is not any real farm or place.
Why do the crop rows meet at one point?
Parallel rows seen from one end look as if they meet at a single point on the horizon, the vanishing point. Here every row edge is a straight line through that point; the table below gives some of them.
Why are the fence posts closer together far away?
They stand the same distance apart on the ground. Farther away that distance looks smaller, so each post is placed where 1 ÷ (its height below the horizon) goes up by the same step from post to post.
How is the barn built?
From parts: a gable end wall 0.55 times as high as it is wide, a gambrel roof (two slopes each side) or a gable roof, a big door with a cross brace and a loft door. Its side wall and roof run back to the vanishing point. The silo is three times as tall as it is wide with a half-circle dome.
Which seasons can I make?
Spring, summer and winter. For an autumn harvest scene with pumpkins and wheat, use our Thanksgiving background instead.
Can I use it as a video-call background?
Yes. Choose Video call background (16:9, 1920 × 1080), download the PNG or JPG and pick it as a virtual background in your video-call app. The calm summer farm preset keeps it quiet.
What does the seed do?
It fixes the vanishing point, the hills, where the barn and trees stand, and the clouds and snow. The same seed and size give exactly the same picture, pixel for pixel.
How big does the PDF print?
The picture is fitted on one Letter or A4 page inside 10 mm margins, turned to suit its shape. The table below gives the printed size of a 4K picture.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Every pixel is worked out by JavaScript in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or saved when you close the page.
