Dark Black Night Wallpaper
Night as the subject — empty streets, dark skies, distant lights, everything shot after dark. Community-uploaded; sign in to add yours.
Night photography is where cheap wallpaper collections fall apart. Real night scenes carry their information in the shadows, and compression discards shadow detail first — so a re-saved night shot turns smooth dark air into blotchy patches. Source quality keeps it. These are near-black rather than pure black, so on OLED you get deep contrast but not the full power saving a #000000 fill gives. 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.
