Wallpapers with real depth. WallCube turns a photograph into a space. Your iPhone works out how far away everything in the picture is, and the wallpaper moves as you tilt the phone: the subject in front, the background falling away behind it. Save it as a Live Wallpaper and it plays the moment your iPhone wakes. REAL ARTISTS, NOT A GENERATOR Three hundred wallpapers, every one of them someone's work. Licensed from the photographer who took the picture and credited by name in the app, on the widget and beside every download. Part of what subscribers pay goes back to them. Nothing in the library came out of a model trained on somebody else's style. A LIBRARY, NOT A FEED Eighteen categories, ranked by what people actually liked and looked at over the last seven days. Browsing and downloading are free. No account needed, no ads, no fake icons, no locked downloads. 3D ROOM POSTER (AR) Point the camera at a wall and the picture hangs there at its real size, so you can see how it looks before anything is printed. Photograph the room with it in place, and it is still hanging next time you open it. YOUR SOCIALS ON ANY WALLPAPER Put your handles on a wallpaper with the platform icons drawn in, placed and sized wherever you want them, and save it to your photos. DEPTH BLUR AND TEXT BEHIND Lift the subject out of a picture, drop a word behind it, or throw the background out of focus. On the phone, in a second. WIDGETS THAT DO SOMETHING Today's wallpaper and the artist behind it, on your Home Screen and your Lock Screen. WALLCUBE PRO Pro unlocks 3D Room Poster, Depth Blur, Text Behind, your socials on any wallpaper, and saving without a watermark. Weekly and yearly plans, both with a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings.
