Once you make up your mind on which eccentric wallpapers you want to use on your phone, click on the download button below the previews to get the full-resolution images.

How to set these eccentric wallpapers on your phone

Are you ready to set one of these eccentric wallpapers on your phone? Let’s walk you through the process! What’s great about wallpapers is that they are simply images. This means you can use them on any device, regardless of the operating system, as long as it lets you change the background. We’ve put together some step-by-step instructions for the two most popular smartphone platforms: Android and iOS.

As previously mentioned, the first step is to get the eccentric wallpapers from the button below the image previews. It’s easier to download them straight from the device on which you will set the wallpapers. You can also get it from any other device and transfer the files using a USB cable, Bluetooth, a cloud storage service like Google Drive, or even by sending it to yourself via email. What’s important is to use a service that won’t compress the images. Try not to use something like Messenger or WhatsApp.
