One of the elements we usually change when we buy a new phone or computer is the wallpaper. That feeling that the device is yours comes from setting a wallpaper with the aesthetic that represents you, whether you prefer to keep the same background for life or change it frequently. If you’re looking for new wallpapers to download to your device, take a look at these apps because you’ll likely find something that fits you.

Whether you’re after cool Disney wallpapers, simple backgrounds, photographs, animated ones or even funny ones (and in a variety of resolutions: from 4K down to 1920×1080) the programs we list below will help you customize your PC or iPhone/Android as it deserves.

Wallpapers for Windows

lively wallpaper

On one hand, we have the program Lively Wallpaper, an open-source software available for Windows from which we can install animated wallpapers and widgets. It is compatible with ultrawide monitors and multiple displays, and it is also programmed to stop consuming resources when it detects that you’re running a game or program in full-screen, so the impact on the performance of heavy applications is negligible.

From effects like rain overlaid on a still image, to music visualizers that move to the rhythm of what you’re playing. Lively Wallpaper lacks no detail; it has a multitude of tools to create add-ons and effects to make your PC’s screen the way you want. It offers so many possibilities that you’ll end up changing your background every week.

Without a doubt, an app worth trying given its huge amount of customization, especially interesting to use on powerful computers, since depending on the effects you decide to include in your wallpaper, on more modest PCs it can represent an additional load that slows them down.

Wallpapers for iPhone, iPad and Android

Another long-standing app for smartphones and tablets is Zedge. A truly complete solution when it comes to downloading wallpapers, as it has a huge catalog that ranges from specific themes like Christmas to football, cars or anime. Likewise, it offers animated wallpapers and even a 3D effect (also known as parallax).

And even more, because in the latest updates they have integrated a AI-based wallpaper creator, so you can generate your own wallpapers directly in the app.

Zedge is an all-in-one that must be on your device if you’re one of those who are constantly tinkering with their phone, changing their home screen’s appearance.

These are some of our suggestions to customize your phone, tablet or computer with style and with a wide variety of options to choose from.
