How to Turn a Picture into Wallpaper on Android (And Make It Fit)

We all have memories or just pretty images that we’d quite happily be reminded about every single day. What’s the best way to do this? To set them as your background, of course, on your computer or Android phone.

It used to be a bit fiddly setting images as your Android wallpaper because instead of cropping images that were too wide, it would sprawl them across your several home screens. Nowadays, a wallpaper stays stationary by default, and Android has a quick and easy way of cropping it down to size. Let’s see how to turn any picture into wallpaper with and without cropping.

How to Edit Pictures for Wallpaper

Before we proceed, remember that before setting an image as your wallpaper, you should make all the visual adjustments you need to make: making sure it’s the right tone, filter, saturation, and so on. (The cropping comes later.)

Most of you probably already have your own photo-editing apps for making these adjustments, but if not, then you can always make edits in the Google Photos app. Simply open it, select an image, and tap the sliders/edit icon at the bottom of the screen. Make all the adjustments you want, such as brightness, saturation, lighting, and colors. Then tap “Save” to download the edited image.

How to Set Picture as Wallpaper on Android

With your photo touched up and ready to go, you can apply it as wallpaper in one of two ways.

Method 1: Using Wallpaper Setting

Open Settings and tap on Wallpaper. If you don’t see the Wallpaper option, tap on Display followed by Wallpaper. You will see the preinstalled wallpapers on your device. Tap on My photos or Gallery to choose your own custom picture.

Tip: touch and hold the empty space on your home screen and select Wallpaper at the bottom to reach the wallpaper setting screen.

Pick the image you want to use as your background. Once your image (portrait or landscape) is selected, you will see a preview of your wallpaper filling up your whole screen. If you like the result, tap on the “Set wallpaper” button or hit the tickmark icon to apply it as your wallpaper. You may be asked whether you want to apply the wallpaper to the home screen, lock screen, or both. Choose the appropriate option.

However, if you don’t like how the wallpaper looks on the preview screen, simply use gestures to adjust the picture. Swipe the image right or left to adjust the visible area and, similarly, zoom in and out of the picture to change the focus.

Method 2: From Gallery

Launch any Gallery app on your phone and open the photo you want to set as wallpaper. Tap on the three-dot icon and select Use as or “Set as wallpaper.” Adjust the wallpaper using gestures and select whether you want it for the home screen or lock screen.

How to Make a Picture Fit Wallpaper

If you want to use a landscape photo as wallpaper, it will either be cropped or stretched. To avoid that and make the picture fit the whole screen, you will have to utilize the help of a third-party app. One useful app is Image 2 Wallpaper. Download it from Play Store, add your image to it, and adjust the wallpaper parameters.

If your phone supports live wallpaper, you can use that as well. You will find the preinstalled live wallpaper collection under “Settings -> Wallpapers only.” However, if you don’t like the collection, use third-party apps to download live wallpaper.

You can even create your own live and video wallpaper. If you like checking on the weather, you can have live weather wallpaper, too. To top it all off, you can even set a GIF as wallpaper.

Android: set a solid color as your background and avoid busy wallpapers

Most Android devices ship with beautiful wallpaper images by default that are displayed as the phone’s or tablet’s background picture. While that is certainly appealing, some users may prefer a less distracting or busy background so that they can concentrate more on browsing the apps on a particular page, or because they prefer things to be minimalistic.

Android does not come with an option to set a solid color as the phone’s or tablet’s background. If you are used to work with a solid color, like I’m when I’m working on my Windows PC, you may want to find a solution that brings that feature to the Android operating system.

Colors is the application that does so. Once you have installed the application on your system and started it, you are presented with a set of suggested colors that you can apply to the background of your device.

Colors are highlighted with their name, color code and user who submitted them. To install a solid color wallpaper, simply tap on it in the app. This displays a preview of it on the screen. There is not really anything that you can do here though except tapping on the set button to make it the new background color or cancel to go back to the color selection menu.

You can scroll the suggested colors for a while, there are probably a thousand or so available. If you cannot find a suitable color, you may want to use the color picker instead.

Just tap on pick which opens a color wheel on the screen. Here you can pick a custom color that you want to use as your wallpaper on your Android phone.

Here you can tap on the color wheel to pick a color of choice, and modify your selection with a tap on the bar on the right of it. There is unfortunately no option to enter a hex code directly in the interface.

The wallpaper is displayed on the widgets and apps screen of the device afterwards.

Verdict

If you do not mind starring at a solid color wallpaper image or even like it because it makes the phone’s screen look less busy, then you may find that Colors is an excellent application for you as you can use it to set single color backgrounds on your phone or device.

There are not any options on the other hand and the requirement to connect to the Internet to retrieve the color codes from a website is not optimal either. If you can live with that, it is a great choice though.

Manual Way

As some users have mentioned, it is quite possible to create and apply a self-created background image instead. There are a couple of steps that you need to following:
