3D Wallpapers for iPhone & Android

A 3D wallpaper is an image rendered from a modelled scene rather than drawn flat or photographed, so light, shadow and reflection behave as they would on a real object. On this page that ranges from a single object, Dimpled Chrome Orb or Crystal Cube Glow, to a full scene like Mountain Train Journey. It is not a parallax or gyroscope effect: the depth is in the render itself, which is why it holds up on both iPhone and Android without any special mode.

Not automatically. Spatial Scene is an iOS 26 feature that builds a 3D effect from a photo's depth, and it is available only on supported iPhones and only when iOS can read depth from the image. A rendered 3D wallpaper already carries visible depth, so most people set it as a normal Lock Screen image or, for the 37 live designs such as Earth City Lights, as a Live Photo. Whether Spatial Scene or Depth Effect activates depends on your device and the specific image.

Slightly, and only while the Home Screen is visible. On Android the live version plays as a muted 1080 × 2400 video loop through the ScreenLux wallpaper service, and Android only asks a live wallpaper to draw while it is on screen, so nothing plays behind a full-screen app or a sleeping display. Phones that decode only 1080p get a 1080 × 1920 rendition. If you want the look without any playback, 125 of the 162 3D wallpapers are stills and install like any image.
