What Is My Screen Resolution?

How to detect your screen resolution

  1. Open the tool — it instantly reads your screen dimensions.
  2. View pixel width, height, DPI, and aspect ratio.
  3. Get a recommended wallpaper size for your specific device.

Why resolution matters

A wallpaper at the wrong resolution gets stretched, blurred, or cropped. Manufacturers publish the "logical resolution" (what CSS sees) but the actual "device pixels" are often 2-3x larger. Our detector reports both so you know exactly what size wallpaper to download for pixel-perfect sharpness.

Pro tips

  • On Retina/HiDPI screens, download wallpapers at 2x the CSS resolution.
  • For multi-monitor setups, run the tool on each screen — resolutions may differ.
  • Mobile browsers report the CSS viewport, not the physical resolution. Use the "Wallpaper Sizes" reference for exact device dimensions.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the number smaller than my phone's advertised resolution?

Browsers report CSS pixels, not physical pixels. Multiply by your device pixel ratio (shown below) to get the true hardware resolution — we already do that math for you in the physical resolution row.

What is aspect ratio?

The width-to-height proportion of your screen — 16:9 for most desktops, 19.5:9 for modern phones, 21:9 for ultrawides. Wallpapers matching your aspect ratio never get cropped.

What wallpaper resolution should I download?

At least your physical resolution. Larger is fine (it gets scaled down sharply); smaller gets stretched and looks soft.
