Galaxy Z Fold8 wallpaper size — inner 1848×2448, cover 1248×1972, and how wallpapers crop
The Galaxy Z Fold8 has two screens: a 5.5" cover screen (1248×1972, about 424 ppi) and a 7.6" inner screen (1848×2448, about 404 ppi). The inner screen's width-to-height ratio is about 0.75, close to a square, so a tall 9:16 wallpaper used as-is loses 326px at the top and bottom (25% of the height). On the cover screen it loses 142px at the top and bottom (11% of the height). This page collects wallpapers with little tonal variation, measured so the look survives the crop, and every wallpaper page previews the exact crop for both screens. Inner-screen figures are for the opened phone held upright.

The inner screen crops the top and bottom
Fitted to the inner screen (1848×2448), a 9:16 wallpaper is enlarged to fill the width and 25% of its height falls off the top and bottom. Landscapes split between sky and ground lose exactly those parts; photos with the subject in the middle are fine. To fill the 1848px width, a 1080-wide wallpaper is scaled about 1.7× and a 1440-wide one about 1.3×, so prefer 1440×2560 for the inner screen. 1242×2688 is even taller and loses more.
How the cover screen crops
The cover screen (1248×1972) is a tall phone-like screen, and a 9:16 wallpaper loses 142px at the top and bottom (11% of the height). The clock sits at the top, so if the cover screen is your lock screen, combine this page with the "Clock stays readable" collection. You can set different wallpapers for the inner and cover screens.
How this list is selected (the measurement)
This list is built mechanically: wallpapers whose overall brightness varies little (a standard deviation under 45) and that come in 9:16, sorted by least variation first. Low variation means the impression barely changes wherever you cut. Galaxy lets you set separate wallpapers for the inner and cover screens in "Wallpaper & style" and adjust the crop position. To see the exact crop for any wallpaper, pick "Galaxy Z Fold8 inner" or "Galaxy Z Fold8 outer" in the device selector on its page.

Can I use different wallpapers on the inner and cover screens?
