Minimalistic Black Wallpaper
One idea per frame and a lot of nothing around it. Community-uploaded; sign in to add your own.
Minimal art is mostly empty area, and empty area is where a mistreated file shows its seams — faint blocking in what should be perfectly even black. There is no detail to distract from it. Source quality is kept throughout. Minimal is also the most practical desktop choice by a wide margin: nothing important is hidden when your icons and windows cover two-thirds of the screen. Right-click or 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.
