What is AI Wallpaper on Android

AI Wallpapers on Android is a new feature in Android 14 and above. They allow users to create custom wallpapers using a text prompt. Using AI image generation technology, you can easily convert user-entered text into fresh and unique images. Whether you use your own words or choose from the many options available on the screen, you get personalized wallpapers according to your preferences.

On supported Android 14 and above devices, the new feature uses Google's text-to-image model to generate unique wallpapers. Since this feature is currently not supported on most Android devices, you can use other alternatives to generate similar AI-based wallpapers.

How to Create AI Wallpapers in Android 14

1. Android 14 Pixel models

Currently, Generative AI wallpapers in Android are only available on select Android 14 models, specifically the Pixel 8 and Pro. If you have these devices, follow the simple steps below to add the new AI wallpapers to Android. For other Pixel devices, follow the steps in the section below that pertain to other Android 14 devices.

On a Pixel device that supports the new AI wallpapers feature, first unlock your phone. Touch and hold an empty space on the home screen. Select Settings -> Wallpaper & Style -> More wallpapers -> AI Wallpaper . Select any AI theme from the list.

To explore more theme ideas, select Inspire Me below. To create a custom AI Android wallpaper based on your own preferences, clicking on any underlined word in the prompt will reveal additional options. Make your selection here.

After selecting the image, click Create wallpaper to have your own AI wallpaper for Android. You can save it to your home screen and lock screen now.

2. Other Android 14+ phones

Android 14+ phones from various brands also support a similar interface for AI wallpapers, similar to the one found in the Google Pixel's Android 14 model. But you'll need to download Google's official APK file for AI Wallpapers .

While downloading, you may see a message saying File might be harmful and click Download anyway to save the APK file on your phone.

After downloading the APK file, you will be asked if you want to install the app. Click Install to continue. If you haven't done this before, you may also need to change your phone settings to install apps from unknown sources.

After a while, the app will be installed on your device. From your device Settings, grant the app any and all permissions necessary to set the wallpaper on your device. You can now use it to create and change AI wallpapers, just like you can on supported Pixel devices.

How to create AI wallpapers in older Android versions

If you are using an older version of Android, it will not get support for automatic AI wallpaper generation. However, there are alternative methods to achieve the same result. All you need is a reliable AI generation software. Gencraft – AI Art Generator stands out as one of the best apps for this purpose.

Once you install the app, navigate to the Image Gen section and describe your idea by filling in the text with your own words. If you click on Enhance prompt , you can choose from a variety of styles such as anime, cyberpunk, cartoon, video game, mythological, mystical, and nature.

Click Generate once you've completed your text prompt.

The final image will be ready. You can click Regenerate to get an alternate version of the image. Or click Download to save the image to your phone. On the free version, you can only download the image in HD. Then, select the Set as wallpaper option on your phone to get the AI-generated wallpaper.

Gencraft is a freemium software. With this tool, you can turn any imaginative idea into reality. Keep in mind that you are limited to 5 AI creations per day and there is a daily refresh timer that resets every 24 hours.

Other AI image generator apps that can help you create AI wallpapers on Android are:
