Want to make a live wallpaper from one of your favourite wallpapers? The Live Wallpaper Maker turns any wallpaper in our catalogue into a parallax-animated live wallpaper for iPhone or Android in about 90 seconds.

How to make a live wallpaper

  1. Open any wallpaper on Wallpapers.com (e.g. a phone wallpaper you love).
  2. Click the Make Live Wallpaper button on the detail page.
  3. Confirm + pay (50 credits or one premium quota) — we queue the render.
  4. Get back a 4-second seamless loop with subtle parallax, delivered as MP4 (Android) + iOS Live Photo bundle (HEIC + MOV).

We don't let you upload arbitrary photos — the live wallpaper maker only works on the wallpapers we already host. That keeps AI compute focused on art people actually want as a wallpaper, and means you can rely on the source image being high resolution + properly composed for a phone screen.

Built for iPhone & Android

Renders are 1170×2532 (iPhone 14/15/16), 1290×2796 (Pro Max), 1080×2400 (Galaxy S). The bit-rate is tuned for the iOS Live Photo wrapper (≈8 Mbps) so iCloud doesn't downsample it. The MP4 output works as an Android lock-screen live wallpaper through the stock Settings → Wallpaper picker on Android 10+.

Premium output, free preview

Premium users (or 50 credits per render) get the full Live Photo bundle, no watermark, and 4-second to 30-second loops. Free preview shows a 720p watermarked version so you can see what your wallpaper looks like animated before committing.

Why use this instead of an app?

Live wallpaper apps require an install, ask for permissions, often inject ads or auto-renewing subscriptions, and lock the output behind their wallpaper picker. Our maker is browser-based, gives you the raw MP4 + HEIC files, and you set the wallpaper yourself via your phone's built-in Settings → Wallpaper.

Where to find the "Make Live Wallpaper" button

On every wallpaper detail page — look just below the download buttons. Or browse the wallpaper catalogue and pick something you love.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work on iPhone?

Yes. We export an iOS Live Photo bundle (HEIC + MOV) that drops straight into Photos. From there, Settings → Wallpaper → Live Photo. Works on every iPhone since the iPhone 6s.

Does this work on Android?

Yes. We export a 4-second loop MP4 that any modern Android (10+) can set as a wallpaper through the Settings → Wallpaper picker. Samsung One UI, OxygenOS, MIUI, and stock Android all accept it. For older phones, set the MP4 as your lock-screen video via the manufacturer's wallpaper app.

How long does it take?

60–120 seconds per render, depending on queue. Premium users skip the free-tier queue and get priority processing (~30 seconds).

What's the difference between free and premium?

Free: 720p with a small Wallpapers.com watermark, MP4 only. Premium: full 1290×2796 (iPhone Pro Max) or 1080×2400 (Android), no watermark, full Live Photo bundle (HEIC + MOV) so it works as an iOS Lock-Screen Live Photo, and 4-second to 30-second loops.

Can I use my own photo or does it have to be a stock photo?

Your own photo. Upload anything you have the rights to (your vacation shot, your pet, your kid, your AI-generated art). Don't upload photos of other people without their consent — that's our TOS and most countries' law.

Why is the loop 4 seconds instead of longer?

iOS Live Photos are capped at ~3 seconds before iCloud downsamples them. Android wallpapers can be longer but most users find loops over 6 seconds distracting. We've found 4 seconds is the visual sweet spot — short enough to feel intentional, long enough that the parallax breathes.

Can I use it as a TikTok or Instagram Reel background?

Yes — the MP4 export is standard H.264 and works in any video editor. Many creators use our live wallpapers as ambient video backdrops for green-screen TikToks.
