How to fit a whole photo as your wallpaper without cropping
Quick answerPhones crop photos that aren't the screen's shape. To keep the whole picture, extend the photo's edges until it matches your screen's shape, at your screen's exact size. Pawlo does this automatically.
Your options
- Crop it yourself: free and quick, but you lose part of the photo.
- Add bars or a blurred border: keeps everything, but looks unfinished.
- Extend the photo: the scene is continued naturally at the edges, so the whole original photo stays and it fills the screen. This is what Pawlo does.
With Pawlo, in 3 steps
- Open pawlowallpaper.com on the phone you want the wallpaper for and choose a photo.
- Pawlo detects your screen. You can change it to another phone, tablet or computer.
- Tap Make my wallpaper, then save and set it. Don't zoom when setting it.
Let Pawlo fit it for you
Pick a photo, Pawlo detects your phone and rebuilds the picture at its exact size. No stretching, no blur. Your first 2 are free.

Can I set a wallpaper without cropping on iPhone?
Only if the photo already has the iPhone's screen shape. Otherwise iOS zooms in to fill the screen.
Will the photo be stretched?
No. Stretching distorts faces and objects; Pawlo extends the scene instead.
