Aesthetic is a real constraint, not a vague one: restrained palette, deliberate empty space, and a single point of interest. Those qualities depend on tonal subtlety, which is exactly what a re-saved file destroys — the near-black shades merge into flat patches and the composition collapses. Source quality is kept throughout. Both orientations are here, and our colour extractor will pull the exact palette from any file if you want to theme the rest of your setup to match. Long-press or right-click 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.
