Choosing a white wallpaper

A white or cream wallpaper makes the screen look bright and tidy, and it suits a light appearance perfectly. Because the Lock Screen clock and widgets are often white, pick a wallpaper with a soft shadow or a little texture at the top, or change the clock to a darker colour when you customize the Lock Screen.

If you use Dark Mode, iOS can dim the wallpaper so a bright picture isn't glaring at night; our article on Dark Appearance Dims Wallpaper explains the setting. The wallpapers on this page were sorted by their main colour, measured from the picture itself, or by the colour theme they were made in, so each one is white or cream across most of the screen. For more clean designs, browse the Minimal category.

White wallpaper questions

How do I keep the clock readable on a white wallpaper?

Touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customize, then tap the time and pick a darker colour. A wallpaper with a little shading at the top also helps.

Is a white wallpaper bad for battery?

On an OLED iPhone, bright pixels use more power than black ones, so a white wallpaper uses a little more than a black one. The difference is small at everyday brightness, because the wallpaper is only part of what you look at.

Are these white wallpapers free?

Yes. Every wallpaper here is free to download and use on your own iPhone, with no sign-up.

Which size should I download?

Pick your iPhone model on the wallpaper's page and download that file. It matches your screen pixel for pixel, so iOS doesn't zoom or crop it. The 4K file works on any other phone.
