iPhone Wallpapers (Free, HD)

How to set a wallpaper on iPhone

Open "Download HD" on any wallpaper page and long-press the image to save it to Photos. Then go to Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper and pick the saved photo for your lock screen and home screen. On the lock screen the clock sits on top of the wallpaper, so images that are not too bright at the top keep the time easy to read.

Pick one that works on the lock screen

Every wallpaper page has a preview switcher that mimics a real lock screen and home screen. You can check how the image looks behind the clock and notifications before downloading — no more "set it and regret it".

Find wallpapers that get along with your icons

On the home screen, the colors peeking out between icons decide the overall look. Wallpapers with the subject in the center or lower half, and some quiet space at the top, keep their character even with a full grid of apps. On the map, similar wallpapers sit next to each other — once you find one you like, drift around it to compare the whole family.

Screen resolutions: iPhone 17, 16 and 15

Here are the native portrait resolutions of recent iPhones. Our wallpapers are delivered at up to 1440×2560 and can be set on any model below. Since the images are 9:16 while modern iPhone screens are slightly taller (about 19.5:9), the phone will zoom in a little and crop the sides. The subject is placed near the center, so the composition survives the crop — and you can always check the result in the lock/home screen preview on each wallpaper page.

Older models such as iPhone 14, 13 and SE also work fine — they share the same tall aspect ratio. Resolutions are reference values based on Apple specs and useyourloaf.com.
