MeshCraft is a free iPhone and iPad app for creating mesh gradients, wallpapers, backgrounds, and abstract visuals in minutes. Build colorful art for your Lock Screen, Home Screen, social posts, design mockups, presentations, mood boards, and personal creative projects. Start from a ready-made size, refine every mesh point, then export a polished image sized for your device or your own canvas. Create gradients your way: • Choose device, square, or custom output sizes. • Move mesh points directly to shape the composition. • Replace colors and explore color harmonies. • Discover richer palette suggestions with Apple Intelligence and, on iOS 27, Private Cloud Compute when available. • Add overlays, portrait depth overlays, and image filters. • Undo and redo edits while you experiment. Keep your work close: • Save creations in your local library. • Search your library by name, color, or mood, and find creations in Spotlight. • Filter saved designs by size. • Export and share finished wallpapers to Photos. • Discover tips that help you explore more of the editor. Use Shortcuts for quick gradient creation and wallpaper routines. On iOS 27, ask Siri to open a creation by name. Whether you make abstract art, custom wallpapers, design backgrounds, or fresh visuals for everyday projects, MeshCraft gives you a focused creative space for color, motion, and depth.
