I'm looking to produce some mobile device wallpapers for my site. What pixel dimensions would be best? I'd like to be compatible with both Retina and pre-Retina iPhones and Touches, along with Android phones, etc.
I'm also unsure of how to do iPad wallpapers. 1024x1024? I don't have one so I'm not entirely sure how it handles the rotation. |

Yep. To fill the two possible aspect ratios, you need a 1024x1024 square image. |

Huh. Well, then, yeah, 1024x1024 is the way to go.
When in doubt, chucker is right, haha Common Android Resolutions: HVGA 320x480 and 480x320 (lots of Android phones are landscape qwerty sliders) WVGA 800x480 (most phones) or 854x480 (Droids), and ditto on the landscape thing Some low-end Android phones are QVGA (320x240) or WQVGA (400x240), or the landscape equivalents of each. Also, lots of feature phones — touchscreen dumb phones, fancy flips — have these resolutions as well. Android has this thing where you can put, say, a 640x480 wallpaper on a 320x480 phone, and the wallpaper pans left and right a little as you page through home screens. Depending on the wallpaper it can either add a pleasant sort of depth or just look really dumb. Oh, and if you want to make a wallpaper for the PSP, that's 480x272. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong Last edited by Robo : 2010-10-09 at 08:43. |

My ex used to use Myst and Riven screenshots, and the panning left and right looked awesome. Can definitely see it sucking with other things though.

What it doesn't at all make sense for is pictures of babes, or skulls, or phat rims, or any number of things that all the Android users I know are far more likely to use as their wallpaper than a scenic landscape. So, on the whole, probably not such a great feature. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |
