Abstract art is mostly gradient, and gradient is the most fragile thing a wallpaper file carries. A smooth curve of light bending across a dark form should be seamless; in a re-compressed file it breaks into visible steps, and the shape stops reading as three-dimensional. Everything here keeps source quality. Abstract also happens to be the most practical desktop choice — no focal point for your icons to sit on and ruin. Right-click or long-press to save; free for personal use.

Common questions

Do black wallpapers actually save battery?

On OLED and AMOLED screens, yes. A true-black (#000000) pixel is switched off rather than dimmed, so it draws no power — and with an always-on display that runs all day the difference is measurable. On an LCD screen it saves nothing, because the backlight stays on either way. Not sure which you have? Our OLED test tool fills the screen with pure black: on an OLED it goes completely dark, on an LCD you can still see the backlight glowing grey.

How do I set one as my wallpaper?

Long-press on mobile or right-click on desktop to save the image, then set it from your gallery or system wallpaper settings.
