Submission guidelines

Requirements

• A JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC/HEIF, WebP, AVIF or BMP file.
• At least 2,560 × 1,440 pixels for a landscape image, or 1,440 × 2,560 for a portrait one. 4K or more is even better.
• Up to 500 MB and 500 megapixels.
• Submit as many wallpapers as you like: there’s no limit on how many wait for review.

We make its download sizes from your file: JPEG from a JPEG, PNG from any other format. The file you upload is never offered for download itself.

What we accept

• Your own photos, artwork and renders: you created the image yourself.
• Images you hold every right to share. When one shows a person who can be recognized, or someone else’s work, that includes their permission.
• Images made to be a wallpaper: sharp, well exposed, and good on a screen at full size.
• Edited photos: colour grading, retouching, HDR and panoramas are all welcome.

What we don’t accept

• Someone else’s work, or an image you don’t hold every right to.
• Watermarks, signatures, logos or text over the image.
• Blurry, noisy or heavily compressed images, or images enlarged from a smaller one to reach the minimum size.
• An image already on WallpaperLIFT, or a near copy of one.
• Screenshots, memes, collages, and other images that aren’t a wallpaper.
• Content that’s illegal, sexually explicit, hateful or graphically violent.

No AI-generated images

WallpaperLIFT is for wallpapers made by people. We don’t accept images generated by AI.

That includes an image made from a text prompt, and a photo changed with generative fill or generative expand.

Ordinary photo editing is fine, including tools that use AI to help, like noise reduction, sharpening, or selecting the sky or a subject.

Review

We review every submission before it’s published, usually within 7 days. WallpaperLIFT is run as a hobby, so it can sometimes take longer.

We publish it, refuse it and tell you why, or ask you for changes with a note saying what to fix.

A submitted image can’t be replaced. To have it changed (a new edit, a fix), contact us and tell us which wallpaper.

Changes to a published wallpaper’s title, description or tags are reviewed too, before they show.

Your rights

You keep the copyright of your work. Submitting it grants WallpaperLIFT the Submission licence, which lets us host it, make its sizes and offer them for download.

You choose the licence people download it under, and you can change it later: see the download licences.

You can ask us to remove your wallpaper at any time: the Submission licence says how.
