We should start by letting you know how to make the best out of these galaxy wallpapers. You might want to simply grab the images you see below, but this wouldn’t be the best course of action. These pictures have been compressed and optimized for improved website performance, so their quality will also be degraded. Think of them as previews for demonstration purposes only. Use them to find the wallpapers you really like, then hit the download button right below them to grab the full-resolution galaxy wallpapers.

Now that you’ve found your favorite galaxy wallpaper for your phone, it’s time to learn how to use them on your device. We can walk you through the process and help you find your way through space and time. What makes wallpapers so great is that they are universal, as they are technically simple images. You can use them on any device that allows you to change your background. We’re focusing on mobile devices, as those are the ratios in mind when these images were created. That’s why we’ve created step-by-step instructions for changing your wallpaper on iOS and Android devices, as those are the two leading mobile platforms, and the vast majority of people will be covered.

Again, the first step is to download the galaxy wallpapers from the button right below the previews. It’s easier to simply download them using the phone you’ll use the wallpapers on, but you can also use any other device and transfer the files to your phone via a USB cable, Bluetooth, a cloud storage service like Google Drive, or send them to yourself via email. Whatever you do, just make sure not to transfer them using a service that compresses the galaxy wallpapers, as that would defeat the purpose of this whole process. We know apps like Messenger and WhatsApp compress images, so avoid those.
