How to use the Phone Wallpaper Maker

  1. 1

    Add a photo

    Drop, paste or choose any photo. Until you do, a soft gradient sample is shown, which also works as a wallpaper on its own.

  2. 2

    Choose a size and focus

    Pick iPhone (1179 × 2556), Android (1080 × 2400) or a 2:3 pin. Move the two focus sliders to choose the part of the photo you keep, and darken it if needed.

  3. 3

    Add a quote and download

    Type a short quote or leave it empty, pick the position, font and text color, then download the PNG.

Phone wallpapers are some of the most saved images on Pinterest, and they need to be tall: about 9:19.5 on recent iPhones and 9:20 on many Android phones. This maker crops any photo to those shapes at full resolution, with two focus sliders so you choose exactly which part of a wide photo becomes the wallpaper.

Add an optional quote in a handwritten, serif or bold font. It sits in the middle or lower third of the screen, below where the lock screen clock appears. Export the wallpaper itself, or a 1000 × 1500 version to pin as a preview. The photo stays in your browser and is never uploaded.

Which size to choose

1179 × 2556 matches the screen of recent standard and Pro iPhones such as the iPhone 15 and 16. Larger Pro Max models use a slightly bigger screen of the same shape, so this file still fills them cleanly. 1080 × 2400 matches many current Android phones. If your phone has a different screen, choose the closest one: phones scale wallpapers to fill the screen, trimming a little from the edges.

The 1000 × 1500 option is for Pinterest itself. A tall wallpaper is cut short in the feed, so many creators pin a 2:3 preview and link it to the full-size file on their site.

Making wallpapers people save

Keep the top third quiet, since the clock and date sit there, and keep the bottom edge simple where app icons and the dock appear on the home screen. Calm photos with one subject, soft gradients and textures work best. A quote should be short, a few words on two lines.

Publishing a set? Match the colors across a series with the color palette extractor, and show the set on a phone mockup with the mobile preview.

Phone Wallpaper Maker FAQ

What size is an iPhone wallpaper?

Recent iPhones such as the iPhone 15 and 16 use 1179 × 2556 pixels. Pro Max models use a slightly larger screen of the same shape, so a 1179 × 2556 wallpaper fills them too.

What size is an Android wallpaper?

It depends on the phone, but 1080 × 2400 (20:9) is common on current Android phones. Phones scale the image to fit, so a close match looks fine.

How do I make a phone wallpaper from a landscape photo?

Add the photo and use the left to right focus slider to pick the part you want. A wide photo has room for several different wallpapers.

How should I post phone wallpapers on Pinterest?

Pin a 2:3 preview so it shows fully in the feed, and link to a page where people can download the full-size file. Only share photos you own or have rights to.

Where should the quote go so the clock does not cover it?

The lock screen clock sits in the top third, so the quote is placed in the middle or the lower third. Check it on your own phone before publishing.
