Every iPhone has a specific screen resolution measured in pixels. Give it a wallpaper at that exact size (or larger) and it looks perfect. Give it something smaller and iOS stretches it, which causes blur. Here are the numbers, newest first.
| iPhone model | Wallpaper size (px) |
|---|---|
| 16 Pro Max | 1320 × 2868 |
| 16 Plus / 15 Pro Max / 15 Plus / 14 Pro Max | 1290 × 2796 |
| 16 Pro | 1206 × 2622 |
| 16 / 15 Pro / 15 / 14 Pro | 1179 × 2556 |
| 14 Plus / 13 Pro Max / 12 Pro Max | 1284 × 2778 |
| 14 / 13 / 13 Pro / 12 / 12 Pro | 1170 × 2532 |
| 13 mini / 12 mini | 1080 × 2340 |
| 11 Pro Max / XS Max | 1242 × 2688 |
| 11 / XR | 828 × 1792 |
| SE (2020 / 2022) | 750 × 1334 |
The easy rule: if you don’t know your exact model, use a wallpaper that’s at least 1320 × 2868. It’s bigger than any current iPhone screen, so it fits every one of them without stretching.
Why bigger is safer than smaller
An image larger than your screen simply gets scaled down — and downscaling always looks clean. An image smaller than your screen gets scaled up, and upscaling is what makes wallpapers look soft and pixelated. When in doubt, go bigger.
