FAQs About Wallpaper Sizes & Templates
- What size should I use for phone wallpapers?
We’ve got you covered! Use our “Wallpaper” canvas size in the app – it’s already optimized for most smartphones. If you want to get technical, a 9:16 ratio works great for most devices, but honestly, our preset size takes the guesswork out of it.
- Can I print my wallpaper collages?
Absolutely! Many of our wallpaper templates actually make beautiful printed art for your home or as gifts. Just save your design and print it at home or through any printing service.
- How do I make text readable on busy backgrounds?
This is such a common question! The easiest fix is adding a text background – just double tap your text, tap the “A” with the black background icon, then select the type of background you want and choose your color. You can also use contrasting colors or try sticker packs, like the free “Speech Bubbles” pack and add text on top of it.
- What’s the best way to showcase multiple photos?
Photo dump style wallpaper templates or templates with multiple photo slots are your best friend here – they’re designed to tell your whole story in one trendy design. Plus, they handle all the arranging so everything looks good together.
You’ll see your wallpaper dozens of times a day — make it something that makes you smile. Whether you go with motivational quotes, family photos, or those trendy collagecore vibes, the wallpaper that makes you happiest is the right one.
