Dark Black Alone Wallpaper
Solitude at the darkest end — one figure, almost no light, mostly empty frame. Community-uploaded; sign in to share yours.
Nearly all of this image lives in the darkest part of the tonal range, which is where compression does the most damage — the subtle steps that separate a figure from the shadow behind it are exactly what gets thrown away, leaving a flat black rectangle. Source quality is essential and it is kept. Best viewed on OLED or a good IPS panel; a cheap LCD cannot separate these tones. 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.
