Plain Black Wallpaper JPEG
Solid black, nothing else — a plain fill you can set and forget on any device. Community-uploaded; register to add your own sizes.
Worth being straight about the format: these are served as WebP rather than JPEG, because WebP holds a flat black fill in a far smaller file with no quality loss, and every current browser and phone supports it. If you specifically need a JPEG, save the image and convert it, or use our solid colour tool — it generates a pure #000000 file at your exact screen resolution and downloads instantly, which is faster than finding one. On OLED, a true black fill switches those pixels off entirely. 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.
