Phone wallpaper maker: little flowers and handwritten words, sized for your phone
In one line: a free wallpaper maker for your lock screen and home screen. Pick a soft, muted background, choose a flower and how it's arranged (taped, ribbon-tied, wrapped or potted), then type a few words in English and they turn into pretty handwriting. The size matches your phone automatically. Every illustration is drawn by Knitting Hiyori, and there is no watermark.

How to make a phone wallpaper in five steps
- Check your phone model: open this page on your phone and it uses your screen resolution. On a computer, pick the phone you want the wallpaper for.
- Pick a background: 12 soft, muted colors such as Sakura, Sage and Sky. Want your own? Open “Custom background”.
- Pick a flower and its color: wildflower, carnation, magnolia, daisy, lavender, baby's breath, rose, ping pong mum, sunflower, or a mix. Let the color match automatically or choose one.
- Pick an arrangement: a single stem, taped to a card, tied with a ribbon, wrapped, potted, a branch, or text only. Tap “Rearrange” for a different layout.
- Add a few words and save: the words are yours to write (a name, a date, any short line), or tap one of the phrases, choose a font, add a flowing line or a little heart, then tap “Save to phone”.
Setting it as your lock screen
| Phone | Steps |
|---|---|
| iPhone | Open the image in Photos → Share → “Use as Wallpaper” → check the clock position → Add. You can also press and hold the lock screen and tap “+”. |
| Android (Pixel) | Press and hold an empty spot on the home screen → “Wallpaper & style” → “Change wallpaper” → “My photos”, then choose home screen, lock screen or both. |
| Samsung Galaxy | Open the image in Gallery → “⋮” → “Set as wallpaper” → choose lock screen, home screen or both. |
Menu names vary a little by system version. Look for “Wallpaper”.
Tips for a soft, simple wallpaper
Short words look best. Two to four words fit nicely in handwriting. The 15 built-in phrases are all short and kind, from “stay gold” to “you are doing great”.
Keep the home screen calm. App icons sit on top of it, so a single stem or a small pot works well. Save the fuller bouquets for the lock screen.
The bottom is the safest place for words. The clock and widgets take the top, and notifications can cover the middle.
Phone wallpaper maker FAQ
Can I use and share the wallpapers I make?
Yes. The flowers, tape, ribbons, wrapping paper and pots are original illustrations drawn in code by Knitting Hiyori. Use them as wallpapers, send them to friends or post them online. Please don't sell the images themselves.
Where do the handwriting fonts come from?
All six come from Google Fonts. Sacramento, Allura and Caveat (English), LXGW WenKai TC (Chinese) and Klee One (Japanese) use the SIL Open Font License; Homemade Apple uses the Apache 2.0 license. Both are open licenses, free to use, including commercially.
What size should I choose?
Just pick your phone model. The tool exports a PNG at your screen's resolution, for example 1179 × 2556 for iPhone 16. If your model isn't listed, pick the closest size; your phone scales it when you set the wallpaper.
I tapped “Save to phone” but nothing downloaded.
On a phone, a share sheet opens. Choose “Save Image”. If your browser can't share files, the tool shows the image instead: press and hold it, then tap “Add to Photos” or “Download image”.
Can I write in Chinese or Japanese?
Yes. Chinese uses the handwritten-style LXGW WenKai TC, and lines with hiragana or katakana use the Japanese handwriting font Klee One, sized to match the English handwriting. The four English fonts above only change English letters.
Will the clock cover my words?
Turn on the clock preview to see roughly where the clock and the bottom buttons sit. It never appears in the saved image. “Below flowers” is the safest choice.
Can I make it on my computer?
Yes. Pick your phone model, click “Save to phone” to download the PNG, and send it to your phone. Or share the settings link with yourself and open it on your phone.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The wallpaper is drawn in your browser. Nothing is uploaded; the tool only remembers your last settings on this device.
Can I suggest more flowers or features?
Please do. Email ideas for flowers, layouts, fonts or anything else to newsletters@knittinghiyori.com. The ping pong mum and sunflower were added this way.
How can a friend make the same wallpaper?
Tap “Share these settings with a friend”. The link opens with the same background, flowers, arrangement and words, sized for their own phone.
