A wallpaper can look great on its own and still feel awkward on your phone. The clock covers the face, the edges get cropped, or your app icons disappear into the artwork. This collection brings together four portrait-format anime wallpapers with different moods: a moonlit swordsman, a grey city scene, a red-haired portrait and a mechanical portrait framed by white flowers.
Below each image, you will find the actual dimensions of the uploaded file and a few suggestions for fitting it to your screen. The full-size links open the image itself, so you can save the file rather than taking a screenshot of this page.
The wallpaper collection
1. Moonlit swordsman
969 × 1,600 pixels
The pale moon and bright blade give this dark composition a clear focal point. Most of the colour stays in the small red details, so it suits a restrained black-and-white screen with one accent colour.
Screen-fitting tip: Try it on your lock screen first. Keep the face below the clock, and avoid zooming so far in that the sword disappears. The moon is bright, so check whether your clock colour remains easy to read.

2. Grey city with red accents
2,625 × 3,735 pixels
This one has the strongest sense of place: stacked buildings, overhead cables and a cloudy opening above the character. The red details break up the grey city without taking over the whole picture.
Screen-fitting tip: This is the widest image in the collection relative to its height. A tall phone may trim quite a lot from the sides. Centre the character before you save the wallpaper; a lock screen will leave more of the city visible than a busy home screen.

3. Red-haired portrait
2,944 × 4,776 pixels
Red hair and sweeping ribbons do most of the work here. The side-facing portrait feels more like a poster than a simple background, with the words “MAJOR CRIMES” near the top and the face lower in the frame.
Screen-fitting tip: Keep the face and eye inside the crop. The lettering may compete with your lock-screen clock, so move the image in the preview until both are readable, or allow the lettering to fall outside the crop if your phone permits it.

4. Mechanical portrait with white flowers
815 × 1,600 pixels
White flowers stand out against blue-violet hair, wires and mechanical details. It is the narrowest image here, which makes its overall shape a useful starting point for a tall phone screen. There is still a lot of detail around the face.
Screen-fitting tip: Use a small number of widgets if you choose this for your home screen. This file is only 815 pixels wide, so heavy zooming can make it look soft. Save the full-size file and judge it in your phone’s wallpaper preview before settling on the crop.
OPEN FULL-SIZE IMAGEHow to save the full-size image
- Choose a wallpaper and tap Open full-size image. It opens in a separate tab.
- On a phone, touch and hold the image and choose the option to save or download it. On a computer, right-click the image and choose the save-image option. The wording depends on your browser.
- Open the saved image from your photos or wallpaper settings. Choose whether to use it on your lock screen, home screen or both.
- Adjust the position in the preview before applying it. Check the face, clock, widgets and bottom shortcuts together.
If tapping the button opens a picture instead of downloading immediately, that is expected. Save the image from that tab. A screenshot of the gallery can include the page layout and lose detail compared with the uploaded file.
Getting a cleaner fit on your phone
Start with the shape. All four images are vertical, but they have different proportions. The grey city scene is relatively wide, while the mechanical portrait is much narrower. If your phone fills the entire screen, some artwork may fall outside the visible area. Move the image around in the preview rather than assuming the centre crop is the best one.
Give the face some space. Lock-screen clocks and notifications often overlap the upper or middle part of a wallpaper. A small position change can keep the portrait visible. For the red-haired image, pay particular attention to the lettering at the top; there may not be room for both the words and a large clock.
Check icon contrast. The swordsman has broad dark areas, while the city and mechanical portrait contain more fine detail. If app labels are hard to read, try a simpler home-screen arrangement or use the image only on the lock screen. It is fine to use different backgrounds for the two screens.
Avoid unnecessary zoom. The red-haired portrait and city scene provide more pixels to work with than the other two files. The smaller images are worth previewing at a modest crop. Enlarging a saved file does not restore detail that was absent from the upload.
Which one should you try first?
For a mostly dark screen, start with the moonlit swordsman. Choose the city scene if you want a background with more atmosphere and depth. The red-haired portrait is the boldest colour choice, while the mechanical portrait brings cooler tones and bright floral details. Try your favourite on the lock screen first, then check it with your usual notifications and home-screen layout before keeping it.
