iOS 7 Tip: How to make your own Parallax Wallpaper
Apple added a very cool 3D parallax effect to the iOS 7 Home screen and Lock screen, which lets you look at what’s “behind” your home screen icons when you tilt your iOS device. Details of how the effect work are laid out in this post, but its basically iOS magnifying your wallpaper to give it space to move around when you tilt your device.
To make the 3D parallax effect look even better, you can use a slightly higher-res image so that when iOS zooms into the image to create the extra margins to move around, the image pixels end up being mapped 1:1 on the screen.
- iPad 2 and iPad mini: 1,424 x 1,424
- iPad 3 and iPad 4: 2,448 x 2,448
- iPhone 4S: 1,360 x 1,040
- iPhone 5: 1,536 x 1,040
iPhone 4 doesn’t support 3D parallax wallpapers.
- To create these wallpapers you’d ideally want to start with an image size larger than the ones mentioned above.
- If they’re in the same aspect ratio as the final resolution, just resize the image to the appropriate dimensions based on your device, else you’d need to crop your image to get it to the desired aspect ratio, and then resize.
- Once you’re done, save the image and set it as your wallpaper.
Here’s a video walkthrough of how to make your own parallax wallpaper in iOS 7:
