Process up to 200 images per job — pick your settings once, run them all.
See exactly how an image will look as your iPhone wallpaper — both lock screen (with clock and notifications) and home screen (with widgets and app icons). Multiple iPhone models supported (Pro, Pro Max, mini, standard), so you can pick the right resolution before setting.
iPhone resolutions
- iPhone 14/15/16 Pro Max: 1290×2796.
- iPhone 14/15/16 Pro: 1179×2556.
- iPhone 14/15/16 (standard): 1170×2532.
- iPhone 13 mini: 1080×2340.
- iPhone SE (3rd gen): 750×1334.
Lock screen vs home screen
iOS shows different elements on each:
- Lock screen: clock at top, optional widgets above and below clock, notifications at the bottom. The clock is highly visible and conflicts with images that have detail in that zone.
- Home screen: grid of app icons (4×6 plus dock). Widgets sit in app-icon slots. Empty home pages can show wallpaper unobstructed.
Tips for great iPhone wallpapers
- Keep important content in the centre band. Top and bottom are typically obscured.
- Test at full brightness. Wallpapers look different at typical-use brightness vs in the picker preview.
- Watch contrast under the clock. Light wallpapers + light clock = invisible time.
- Use 9:19.5 aspect images. Or use our AI Outpaint to extend a non-matching photo.
Setting the wallpaper
Once you find the right image, save to your phone and set via Settings → Wallpaper. iOS may zoom/crop further; the preview here shows the most likely result.
