iPhone Wallpaper Maker — Create Text Wallpapers for iPhone
Want a phone background that says exactly what you want it to say? This free online phone wallpaper maker turns any text into a clean, custom wallpaper for your iPhone — your name, a reminder, a quote, or just a minimal aesthetic statement.
No app to install, no account, no watermark. It runs right in Safari, and your wallpaper downloads straight to your Photos in your iPhone's exact screen resolution.
Make Your iPhone Wallpaper →The Right Wallpaper Size for Your iPhone
iPhone wallpapers look sharpest when they match your screen's native portrait resolution. Here are the sizes for current models:
- iPhone 16 Pro Max / 15 Pro Max: 1320×2868 / 1290×2796
- iPhone 16 Pro / 15 Pro: 1206×2622 / 1179×2556
- iPhone 16 Plus / 15 Plus: 1290×2796
- iPhone 16 / 15 / 14: 1179×2556 (14: 1170×2532)
- iPhone SE (3rd gen): 750×1334
The wallpaper maker lets you enter any custom width and height, so you can match your model exactly — or make it slightly larger, which never hurts.
Lock screen vs. home screen: iOS may crop, zoom, or shift your wallpaper slightly (for the parallax/perspective effect and lock screen layouts). Keep your text near the center and leave a comfortable margin around it so nothing gets cut off on either screen.
How to Make a Text Wallpaper for iPhone
- Open the maker in your browser — go to TextWallpaper.com on your iPhone (or any device).
- Type your text — and pick your text color, background color, and size.
- Set the resolution — use your iPhone's screen size from the list above.
- Download — the image saves to your Photos.
- Set it as wallpaper — open Settings → Wallpaper → Add New Wallpaper → Photos, choose your image, then set it for the lock screen, home screen, or both. (You can also long-press the lock screen to customize it directly.)
Ideas for Your Custom Phone Wallpaper
- Your name — a simple name wallpaper makes your phone unmistakably yours.
- A daily reminder — "Drink water", "Call mom", "Focus" — you'll see it dozens of times a day.
- A favorite quote — short quotes work best on a phone screen.
- Minimal aesthetic — a single word on a soft, muted background.
- Black background, white text — the classic look; it also saves battery on OLED iPhones.
