Rwilco12's Wallpaper Gallery is a HUGE collection of high resolution wallpapers gathered from around the web. Currently there are more than 1,000 unique wallpapers!!!

The collection is mostly fractal, abstract and technology based backgrounds with a few others mixed in. Images are categorized by their base color in order to help simplify the process of finding the right wallpaper for your device.

When setting the desired image as your wallpaper it will automatically adjust the image to fit the screen and on most devices it supports wallpaper scrolling.

Currently the app does contain ads to help cover the bandwidth costs. If you use an ad blocker please consider allowing ads. The revenue generated from ads on the site and in the app allow us to continue offering our services to all those who use them. If you would like an ad-free option please consider purchasing our Pro version of the app.
