Not everyone enjoys pictures of friends, relatives, pets, or even selfies as their smartphone wallpaper. Many people prefer characters from movies, paradisiacal landscapes, or incredible live wallpaper artworks with 3D and motion effects. Others like to express their creativity through animated backgrounds made with a Live Wallpaper Maker – an option offered by some wallpaper apps.
But how to choose a cool wallpaper? There are applications that can help you find the perfect background, whether by theme, image resolution, editing possibilities or other features that matter to you. We have tested some of these apps for Android devices and made a selection of the best ones we found.
Wave Live Wallpapers with Live Wallpaper Maker
It provides many options for those who want to add movement to their smartphone wallpaper. Wave Live Wallpapers HD & 3D Wallpaper Maker is one of the well-established apps in the personalization category. The app includes a designer-made live wallpapers Gallery and a wallpaper maker tool in My Studio where you can choose snippets from your phone and create moving wallpapers and 3D backgrounds. It allows you to insert photos, GIFs and include text that moves across the screen. Once the live wallpaper is finished, you can set the 3D wallpaper as your smartphone’s background source.
After running the app for the first time, you can choose your favorite wallpaper from a series of categories that Wave Live Wallpapers will suggest. You can add the moving backgrounds and 3D wallpapers to your collection so you can customize your wallpaper later with overlay and touch effects. If you play around with the app well, you’ll find ways to follow other users, share wallpapers with your friends or a larger community, and add more collections. Bonus points for making all the wallpapers fit any phone resolution and for the shuffle wallpapers feature to auto change backgrounds as you like.
Wave Live Wallpapers HD & 3D Wallpaper Maker is available on the Play Store. Its moving wallpapers can be used for free, or with a premium subscription for a free ad experience.
