Minipaper is a wallpaper maker for iPhone and iPad. Pick a style, change whatever you want, and export a custom Lock Screen or Home Screen wallpaper that fits your screen exactly. No design skills, no templates to fight with, and no two exports alike. Over 30 styles, every one of them built to be taken apart and rebuilt. STICKERS Put anything on your wallpaper. Start from the RetroTech pack or a curated set of SF Symbols, type your own with text and emoji, or drop in a photo and watch subject isolation lift it straight off the background. Drag, pinch and rotate to place, resize from the corners, then finish with a clean white border or a holographic foil. Select several at once, copy a layout from one design to another, or hit sticker-bomb and let them scatter. OBJECTS, NOT JUST GRADIENTS An iPod with a click wheel and anodized case, worn from pristine to pocket-scratched. A vinyl record. A handheld console. An AC remote, a CRT monitor, an airplane seat-back screen. The skeuomorphic styles are laid out so their screens sit exactly where your Lock Screen clock lands, and the whole phone reads as the object. GRADIENTS, GLASS AND SHAPES Aurora, Mesh Gradient, Pro Gradient and Japanese Gradient. Liquid Glass, Fluted Glass, Legacy Glass and Glass Bricks. Arch, Bento, Capsules, Plateau, Rects, Grid, Notes, Text, Tide, Topography, Mountains, Polka, Prism, Calendar and Vision OS. IPHONE AND IPAD The same app on both, laid out for each. On iPad the browse list gets a sidebar, the skeuomorphic styles keep their true proportions in the middle of the canvas instead of stretching, and the controls stay in reach. Your saved designs follow you across. MAKE IT ACTUALLY YOURS Every style opens up. Colours, layout, texture, wear, type, the lot. Nudge one setting or rebuild the thing from scratch. Save your designs and come back to them later, because a wallpaper is never quite finished. EXPORTS THAT FIT Wallpapers render at your device's full resolution and follow your device's real display corner radius, so nothing is cropped, squashed or resized to fit. Export a still or a Live Photo, save it to Photos, and set it from there. ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW New styles land regularly, along with collabs with apps and designers we like. Everything you have already made keeps working. Minipaper speaks English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Arabic.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shuffle Wall at 100% against Minipaper's 48%. Shuffle Wall also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Minipaper's advantage is ratings volume (90 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Minipaper sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Shuffle Wall sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Shuffle Wall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minipaper has 90 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Minipaper's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shuffle Wall's.
Minipaper ships an update fortnightly, Shuffle Wall every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
