Why aren't the images getting changed every 2 seconds?
let i = 0;

function change() {
  if (i < res.length) document.getElementById("cont").style.backgroundImage = `url(static/letters/${res[i++]}.jpg)`;
}
window.onload = function() {
  setInterval(change, 2000);
};

I want this change only once till all the images get displayed and then want the container empty. What's wrong with my code?

You can check this implementation

let i = 0;

let interval //the variable to keep the current interval

//simulate your `res` data 
const res = [

]

function change() {
  if (i < res.length) {
    document.getElementById("cont").style.backgroundImage = `url(${res[i++]})`;
  } else {
    document.getElementById("cont").style.backgroundImage = "none";
    clearInterval(interval); //remove the current interval after finish the loop
    i = 0; //reset index value
  }

}
window.onload = function() {
  interval = setInterval(change, 2000); //set the current interval
};
#cont {
  height: 300px;
  width: 300px;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 300px 300px;
  transition: 0.2s;
}
<div id="cont"></div>

This might do the job :

if (i < res.length) document.getElementById("cont").style.backgroundImage = `url('static/letters/${res[i++]}.jpg')`;
