Most wallpaper looks worse the moment it becomes a lock screen, because the top third is permanently occupied by the clock and notifications. The pieces here keep their subject low or to one side for that reason. Dark backgrounds also keep white system text legible at a glance, which a bright busy photograph does not. Files are 1080x1920 and up. 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.
