Frequently asked questions

Are these retro wallpapers free?

You can browse and preview every wallpaper here. HD versions are free in the ON Lock Screen app, and 4K and 8K files can be bought on the website with a lifetime license.

Will these wallpapers fit my phone?

Yes. They are made in a tall portrait format that fits current iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel screens, and the 4K and 8K files have enough resolution to crop or zoom without getting blurry.

What is the difference between 4K and 8K?

Both look sharp on a phone. 8K keeps fine detail when your phone zooms or crops the image for the Depth Effect, parallax or a foldable screen, and holds up best on the largest Pro Max and Ultra displays.
