Create your own unique wallpapers with AI, right on your iPhone or iPad. Type a few words that inspire you, such as "science fiction, forest, sunset", and the app turns them into a one-of-a-kind wallpaper. Images are generated on your device, so once the model has downloaded you can create wallpapers without an internet connection. FEATURES • Choose your model: Standard for quicker images, or High Quality for more detailed images that follow your prompt more closely • Set the image quality: more detail, or quicker results • Save wallpapers to your photo library, share them, and keep your favourites • Publish your creations to the public gallery, and discover wallpapers made by other people • New wallpapers while you sleep: when your device is charging, the app can create a wallpaper in the background and let you know when it's ready • Works on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo GETTING STARTED The first time you open it, the app downloads its image generation model: 1.1 GB for Standard, or about 3 GB for High Quality. The download carries on in the background, and you'll get a notification when it's ready. Creating images takes a lot of processing power, so it's quickest on recent iPhones and iPads. Older devices take longer.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Unsplash at 4.9 against AI Wallpapers Generator's 4.4. Unsplash also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 19). AI Wallpapers Generator's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Unsplash holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unsplash has 13K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Unsplash's written reviews are positive against 100% of AI Wallpapers Generator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Unsplash ships an update every 3 weeks, AI Wallpapers Generator weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
