Mobile Wallpapers

Mobile wallpapers are portrait-first backgrounds for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and iPad. They are generated at exact device resolutions from the original image, so the artwork fills the display without stretching or cropping.

Free downloads with one-click mobile presets. See /guides/how-to-resize-pinterest-images-into-phone-wallpapers/ for a step-by-step walkthrough if you want to customise a specific size.

The mobile wallpaper category draws from every other category in the gallery -- anime, space, travel, aesthetic, abstract and more. The difference is that each one has been cropped and sized specifically for a phone or tablet screen, with the composition adjusted so the main subject lands where it looks best on a portrait display.

Download mobile backgrounds for any device

Tips for picking a mobile wallpaper

• Portrait wallpapers cover the lock screen best -- choose 'Mobile sizes' on any wallpaper in the gallery to get a phone-optimised version.
• OLED phones get the most out of dark, high-contrast scenes -- the true blacks save battery and look stunning in low light.
• Avoid wallpapers with fine detail at the very bottom of the frame -- the home indicator bar on modern phones will cover it.
• If you use a phone with a punch-hole camera, look for wallpapers with open sky or negative space in the upper-left corner so the camera cutout does not obscure a key detail.

Using mobile wallpapers well

• For a lock screen, choose mobile wallpapers where the focal point sits in the upper two-thirds of the frame -- your notifications and time display will not compete with the main subject.
• Pair your phone lock screen and home screen with wallpapers from the same colour family for a polished, intentional look every time you unlock.
• On tablets like the iPad, mobile wallpapers in landscape orientation work well as backgrounds -- the portrait-optimised crops still look sharp at tablet resolution.
