Matching wallpapers for two phones: couples, best friends, even two different models

One pair-seed makes two coordinated wallpapers. Split a single gradient across both screens so the phones reassemble one picture, or render the same composition in complementary palettes. Then export each side separately at its own phone's exact native pixels. To share the pair, send this page's URL: the other phone gets its half from the same seed.

How this pair mode works

The pair-seed in the readout drives both wallpapers. In split-field mode, the engine builds a single mesh gradient on a virtual canvas as wide as both phones together and as tall as the taller one, then cuts it: phone A's wallpaper is the left window and phone B's the right, each vertically centered and rendered at its own native resolution. Both windows come from one field, so the grain, the blobs and the color flow continue across the gap between the phones.

In complementary mode, both phones get the full composition: the same seeded control-point layout, scaled to each screen. Phone A keeps the palette you chose, and phone B's palette turns every color stop halfway around the color wheel, keeping its saturation and lightness. The two wallpapers are recognizably the same picture in opposite colors, so the two lock screens read as a set. In both modes each export button renders its side at that device's exact native pixels, from the same two-source-verified device table the rest of this site uses, in short slices so the page stays responsive.

The same pair-seed, mode, devices, palette and point count render the same two wallpapers again, but the downloaded files' bytes can differ between browsers because PNG encoders differ. Split field suits phones of broadly similar height: next to a much taller phone, the shorter phone's wallpaper covers only the middle band of the shared field, as the previews show. After download, perspective zoom or launcher cropping on each phone can still shift the edges.

Frequently asked questions

What makes these wallpapers a matching pair?
They come from one recipe. A single pair-seed drives both renders, in one of two modes. Split field cuts one continuous gradient across the two screens, so the phones set side by side show one picture. Complementary palette renders the same composition twice, once in the palette you chose and once in its opposite hues. In both modes the two wallpapers are computed together from that one seed.
What is the difference between the two modes?
Split field is one gradient shared across two phones: colors flow off the right edge of phone A and onto the left edge of phone B, because both wallpapers are windows into the same mathematical field. Complementary palette gives each phone a complete gradient of its own with the same layout, and phone B's colors sit opposite phone A's on the color wheel at the same lightness and saturation.
Do both phones have to be the same model?
No. Each side has its own device picker and renders at that phone's native resolution, taken from the same two-source-verified device table the maker uses, so an iPhone and a Pixel can share a pair with neither wallpaper stretched or cropped. The previews render at one common scale, so a larger phone previews larger.
How do two people, a couple or two friends, share one pair?
Send the link. The pair-seed, mode, both devices, palette and point count are all in this page's URL, so whoever opens it sees exactly the same pair. Each person then presses their own export button and downloads their side at their phone's resolution. No image is stored anywhere, so keep the link if you want the pair again.
Is anything uploaded or stored?
No. Both renders are computed and drawn inside this page. There is no server rendering and no account, and nothing you make is sent or kept anywhere. The site's security policy also makes your browser block requests to any other origin.
