Make your own Halloween wallpaper
Every design here is ready to use as it is. Pick one in the picker at the top of the page, choose your screen size and download a PNG cut to fit, then follow Set a Halloween wallpaper on iPhone or Set a Halloween desktop wallpaper to position it.
Set a Halloween wallpaper on iPhone
Save the downloaded image to Photos. Open Settings, choose Wallpaper, then Add New Wallpaper and select Photos. Pick the image and adjust its position in the preview before adding it. Choose a wallpaper pair, or customize the Home Screen separately. Apple's wallpaper guide explains the controls; last checked October 22, 2026.
Look at the clock and notifications while positioning the picture. A small pumpkin near the bottom leaves room for the time; a busy pattern can work better behind app icons than behind lock-screen widgets.
What size should an iPhone wallpaper be?
The shape of your screen matters as well as the pixel count. Apple's iPhone 17 specifications list a display resolution of 2622 by 1206 pixels: in portrait orientation, that is 1206 pixels wide by 2622 high. This is the screen's resolution, rather than a wallpaper export setting. Apple iPhone 17 specifications, checked October 22, 2026.
Compare your download's dimensions with your own model, then use the phone's crop preview. Leave space around the subject so you can move it without losing the ears of a cat or the tip of a witch hat.
Set a Halloween desktop wallpaper
Download a wide design, then open your computer's background settings and choose the saved image. Preview the fit on your display before closing the settings. Keep the pumpkin or haunted house away from your busiest group of desktop icons.
For a laptop full of shortcuts, a quiet sky or dark wall gives the labels room to read. On a wide monitor, check both edges after the image fills the screen; the desktop may crop the sides or top and bottom.
Use a Halloween Zoom background
Download a wide wallpaper and open the Zoom desktop app's Settings. Under Video & effects, choose Virtual backgrounds, then use the add icon to upload the image. Preview yourself against it before joining a call.
Zoom accepts 24-bit PNG or JPG/JPEG images up to 15 MB and recommends matching the camera's aspect ratio. For a 16:9 camera, it gives 1280 × 720 and 1920 × 1080 pixels as examples. If you do not know your camera's ratio, Zoom recommends at least 1280 × 720 pixels. Zoom KB0060387, checked October 22, 2026.
Use the same image in Teams
In the Teams meeting preview, open Effects and avatars, choose More video effects, then Add new to upload your downloaded background. Check how it looks behind you before joining. Microsoft accepts JPG, PNG and BMP files; its meeting-background guide gives no fixed pixel size. Microsoft Teams background help, checked October 22, 2026.
Halloween wallpaper ideas
For a cute lock screen, try a sleepy bat or a ghost holding a pumpkin. A small subject against a soft sky gives your clock space. For an aesthetic Halloween wallpaper, pair plum and gold with a candle or crescent moon.
Pink gingham and ribbon ghosts give a preppy look. Warm leaves and porch lanterns carry a fall theme beyond Halloween night. For something scary, choose fog and a distant lit window: the scene still reads when desktop icons cover part of it.
For a work call, choose shelves or a garden scene with detail near the edges. Your head and shoulders fill the middle, so an open center keeps the seasonal decoration visible. A wide design can also stand behind a party booth: the Halloween photo booth page shows how to set one up on a TV.
