Creating Matching Sets

Generate matching wallpapers for all your devices.

Workflow

1. Choose a theme and color palette
2. Generate desktop version (16:9)
3. Generate phone version (9:16) with similar composition
4. Generate tablet version (3:4) to complete the set
5. Generate smartwatch face (1:1) if desired

Tips for Best Results

Composition

• Leave breathing room for icons and widgets
• Center main subject or use rule-of-thirds
• Avoid fine details where UI elements sit
• Generate at largest available resolution, downscale as needed

Color

• Dark wallpapers save battery on AMOLED
• High-contrast wallpapers make icons harder to see — aim for medium
• Warm tones feel inviting, cool tones feel calm
• Specify exact colors to match device aesthetic (Space Gray, Midnight Blue)

Style

• Photorealistic landscapes are most universally appealing
• Abstract ages better than trendy styles
• Minimalist is most functional for daily use
• Seasonal rotation prevents visual fatigue

Resolution

• 1K+ output is sufficient for phones
• Desktop above 1080p: use AI upscaler
• Generate in correct aspect ratio rather than cropping — composition matters
