Black Wallpaper Wide
Genuinely wide files — for 16:9 monitors and the ultrawides where normal wallpaper runs out of pixels. Community-uploaded; sign in to share yours.

An ultrawide is the hardest screen to supply. A 3440x1440 panel needs 3440 pixels across; a standard 1920-wide file has to be enlarged by nearly 80% and every soft edge shows it. This gallery keeps the natively wide files together. Dark art also suits these screens for a practical reason — a bright wallpaper that wide sits in your peripheral vision all day and is genuinely tiring. 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.
