Any Studio Ghibli fan will gush about the rich storytelling and highly detailed animation full of soul that characterises their films. It's no wonder that the studio has always been protective of their work.

That's why it's an unexpected and sweet surprise when they released 700 free high resolution images from 14 films! You're free to use them as a desktop wallpaper, iPhone app icon, etc., or in the words of the studio: within the bounds of common sense.

The images range from beautiful scenic stills to ones that capture some of the most iconic moments in their films like when No Face offers Chihiro a gold coin in Spirited Away and when Howl is cooking the bacons and eggs with Calcifer in Howl's Moving Castle.

Earlier in August this year, Studio Ghibli released 400 free images from 8 films: When Marnie Was There, The story of Princess Kaguya, The Wind Rises, From Coquelicot Hill, The Borrower Arrietty, Ponyo on the cliff, Tales from Earthsea and Spirited Away.
