Add my own image as custom background

Hello!
I am working on my second project, and I would like to know how to add my own image as a backdrop (and if possible, to blur it). I have it in both Google photos and also saved to my computer (Mac). I have been searching various forums for help, but nothing is working for me yet. I have tried the website that allows you to create an embed code, but the file name doesn’t end in .jpg or .png, , so I’m not sure that is supported. I also am not sure how to execute the other solution, which is to have the html and image in the same folder of my computer…
Any suggestions appreciated!

you can take picture from your Avatar Profile picture
and set it as a background
