Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a phone wallpaper be?
Most modern smartphones use approximately 1080x2340 pixels. iPhones use slightly different resolutions (e.g., iPhone 15: 1179x2556). A 1080x2340 image works well on most phones as they auto-adjust.
Why does my phone wallpaper get cropped?
Many phones apply a parallax scrolling effect that requires the wallpaper to be slightly larger than the screen. The phone crops the edges to allow the background to shift as you tilt the device. You can often disable this in settings.
Should I use the same wallpaper for lock screen and home screen?
You can use different images for each. Both use the same dimensions. iOS and Android both allow you to set separate lock screen and home screen wallpapers in your display settings.
Will this work for both iPhone and Android?
Yes, 1080x2340 works well on most smartphones. Your phone will automatically adjust the image to fit. For pixel-perfect results, you can look up your specific phone model's exact screen resolution.
