49 wallpapers in the MacWall catalog are ultrawide, with an aspect ratio of 2.3:1 or wider. Their encoded sizes include 3840x1604, 3382x1424, 3440x1440, 3840x1636, 5760x1080, 2880x1192. Apple does not make an ultrawide display, so these are for third-party monitors connected to a Mac.

How to set one on your Mac

  1. Download MacWall for macOS 15 or later. Every download starts with a free 24-hour trial.
  2. Open a wallpaper above and choose Set on Mac, or find it by name in the app.
  3. Pick the display. On a Mac with several screens, each one can play its own loop.
  4. On macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, the same loop can play on the Lock Screen and as the Screen Saver with Pro.

How these wallpapers are picked

Each wallpaper's encoded resolution comes from the MacWall catalog. 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

Should I use an ultrawide loop on a MacBook screen?
No. Ultrawide loops are shaped for 21:9 and 32:9 monitors. A MacBook screen is close to 16:10, so a regular 16:9 loop such as the [4K wallpapers](/wallpapers/display/4k) matches it better.
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.
