How these wallpapers are picked
Each wallpaper's encoded resolution comes from the MacWall catalog. A loop counts as a fit when it covers the screen at native resolution with no more than 5% upscaling. The grid is ordered by likes within each group and updates as wallpapers are added. To size your own image for a Mac screen, use the wallpaper size guide.

Frequently asked questions
- What resolution should a MacBook Pro wallpaper be?
- Match the native resolution: 2560 × 1600 for the MacBook Pro (13-inch, M2, 2022), 3024 × 1964 for the MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5), 3456 × 2234 for the MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5 Pro / M5 Max). Anything larger is scaled down cleanly; anything smaller is scaled up and looks softer.
- Are these still images or video?
- They are video loops that play behind your windows in the MacWall app, not still image downloads. You can preview every one on this site before installing anything.
- Do live wallpapers slow down a MacBook?
- MacWall decodes video in hardware and pauses playback behind full-screen apps and while the display sleeps, so the cost in everyday use is small.
