Best Models for Wallpapers & Phone Backgrounds
AI Wallpaper Generation
Wallpapers are one of the most searched AI image categories. The key to great wallpapers is the right aspect ratio, interesting visual content that doesn't interfere with icons or widgets, and high resolution. Desktop wallpapers use 16:9, phone backgrounds use 9:16 or 9:19.5.
Desktop Wallpapers (16:9)
Desktop wallpapers should have visual interest without being too busy in icon-heavy areas (usually the left side). Centered subjects or wide landscapes work best.
Mountain lake sunrise wallpaper
desktop wallpaper 16:9, serene mountain lake at sunrise, perfect mirror reflection, pastel sky gradient from peach to lavender, minimal and calming, no text, clean composition with open sky for desktop icons, 4K resolution

Minimal bonsai wallpaper
minimal desktop wallpaper, single Japanese bonsai tree on a clean surface, soft gradient background from warm cream to white, zen and minimalist, lots of negative space, calm and focused aesthetic, 16:9
Phone Backgrounds (9:16)
Phone wallpapers need to work with notification bars, widgets, and app icons. Keep the main visual interest in the center or lower portion.
