Open one then Image>Image Size> Change it to pixels and you can see.
Pretty sure its 480x84 for our phone.
Edit: the dock
They scale proportionally at base 2: 64x64; 128x128; 256x256.
Can't remember which one it actually renders them as--one of the smaller 2 definitely though.

Hi,
I've been playing around transferring files onto my phone, but I just can't get my lock screen to look right.
1. Does anyone know what the exact dimensions of the lockscreen image should be? I read 320x480 somewhere, but this isn't correct. I've also tried 360x380, 340x480. Maybe it's 345x480? I want to get this right because...
2. Whenever I set an image onto the lock screen, the phone seems to compress the image really badly and I see loads of jpg artifacts on the parts that should be solid colour. I'm hoping that if the image is the right size, it won't convert/re-sample/re-compress the file.
Any ideas?

The stock ones are 320 x 455, and I've had good results using those dimensions for my own images.
Im sure i read that converting your image to a png and using that instead of the png file gave better results also. Not 100% on that though lol
.png gives better quality than jpg.
320x455 px is the right size. But everytime you set wallpaper, HTC software it re-compress as JPEG in tragical quality. PNG or JPEG, that makes no difference.
Will be nice software like Wallpaper Set & Save for lock screen wallpaper. But I can't find something like that.

Not my experience. My own images are usually desktop 'papers resized and/or cropped to 320x455 and saved as JPEGs, and provided I ensure the green 'crop box' is expanded to encompass the entire image when selecting the lockscreen they look just as good as the originals.
I've tried many images. At most (as you) cropped or resized desktop wallpapers. I prepare the correct size and copy to phone. I keep JPEG at 90 to 100% of quality and also convert it to PNG. And every image was resampled during setting up as lock screen wallpaper. Everytime its quality goes rapidly down. Even I used exactly the same way like you.
It is not good visible on landscape wallpapers with. But on artifical images it's very big problem. It blurs every contrast line on image.
Try it on this image: http://anowia.deviantart.com/art/Light-Blaze-HD-Wallpaper-129153930 If you don't notice any resample after setting up as lock screen wallpaper, please provide screenshot.

Here you go.... see what you think. View attachment lockscreen.zip
Not perfect, but it was a rush job. Resized from 1280x1024 to ???x455, then cropped to 320x455. Saved as JPEG @ 100% for use. Photoshop Elements 7 used. If I had more time I'd probably play with the sharpening to compensate for the downsizing.

Also having this issue with this image..
I have problems with all images. But on this it's good visible. And as Shluggity's screenshots shows, it's not only my problem. I think it's not good
I'm not sure what's going on but there's definitely some sort of degradation visible, a softening of the edges. I honestly haven't seen it in my own wallpapers, but I haven't used images like this with lots of thin sharp 'light beam' effects. Maybe original image res is a factor, maybe screen dpi, maybe something completely different... If I have time tomorrow I'll do some tests.
how does wallpaper set and save work? maybe the wallpaper directory is similar to the lockscreen directory?
Have you tried HeroLockWall? (Market)
lockscreen wallpaper help..
i have the same problem i cant get lockscreen wallpaper to work every time i try i get a tile wallpaper and not a stretch wallpaper that i want can sum body help me plz??
Search came up blank, sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere.
Alright so the screen resolution for this device is 320x480, and the default android home features 3 screens. Wallpapers are stretched across all 3 screens..so you would think 3x the width with the same height. However, most information I find says that the correct wallpaper size would be 640x480.. which would only be 2x the size.
It's easy enough to just say double the width, but that only works for 3 screens(?). I'm interested in the formula here so I can determine the correct wallpaper size for 5 or 7 screens.
Is it the obvious +1/2 width for each additional screen? For instance:
320x480 resolution, 3 screens. 320+(320/2)+(320/2)= 640, 640x480
320x480 resolution, 5 screens. 320+(320/2)+(320/2)+(320/2)+(320/2)= 960, 960x480
400x854 resolution, 3 screens. 400+(400/2)+(400/2) = 800, 800x854
Am I on the money with this?
I dont think it actually adds anything to the size with more screens. I think it just divides it differently. I have used the same wallpaper with 3/4/5 screens and the pic is always the same.
You have to remember the wallpaper doesn't get stretch rather the space on top of the displayed area gets divided depending on how many home screens you have. In all the final wallpaper is still 640x480 but it overlaps in 3, 5, 7 etc places.
Just think of each of the 'screens' overlapping to understand how the homescreen works.
So then the proper wallpaper size for any Android device is 2x width x height? Or is it device specific.

i think now with the Tattoo being available it depends on the device.
i think i would go with 'device-specific'. i'm curious what resolution builds like the pulse version uses.
it's rather apparent that the current 320x480 devices just use a shorter pan across a 640x480 image when the number of homescreens goes up. i suppose we could all just use larger wallpaper images, since android will crop oversized images to the appropriate resolution depending on what device it's on.

I read the Pulse uses a 2:3 ratio, it uses two rows of three screens after all. I read something like 512x768 works well.
As Prash said.
For the G1, wallpaper is 640x480. If you had 50 screens, it'd still be 640x480.
However, different devices have different screen resolutions.
Not even worth reading

Just take the original width and multiply it by the number of screens you have. No need to do this /2 crap. Makes no sense....regardless of what you read. Now...if you wanted to have say 5 screens with less wallpaper scrolling when you transition from screen to screen...then you could implement your division tables as stated in your original post. It really functions no different than a desktop with multiple monitors....other than the fact that you have one screen and wallpaper scrolling on the Android device.
EDIT:....I guess I have been working too many hours....totally forgot about the fact that you have to crop images when setting your wallpaper. That being said....stick with 640X480. I am gonna go punch myself in the face now.
Size of the background does not matter. The ssytems will scale it when you choose the wallpaper. Or you can manually select what you see in the gallery.
If you need the background to look a specific way then yes the size matters.
Since the system will stretch or shrink as needed.
Proportion is more important. 640x480, 1280x960, 800x600 They will all scale to the same appearance.
As for screens:
What changes is the amount of the background that shifts.
On 3 screens the left screen see 0-50 of the picture, the right sees 50-100 the center screen sees 25-75.
On 9 screens: These numbers are off because it actually takes like 6.22 or something but this is close.
screen 1 = 0-50
screen 2 = 6-56
screen 3 = 12-62
screen 4 = 18-68
screen 5 = 24-74
screen 6 = 30-80
screen 7 = 36-86
screen 9 = 42-92
screen 9 = 50-100
I would be impressed if someone can figure out a way to make each screen a different wallpaper. A single image would be fantastic but probably unlikely.

Launcher Pro has a stationary-wallpaper option.
I was wondering what the default resolutions are for some of the displayed graphics on Moto Droid.
For instance I was told the default wallpaper size is 960x854 and that any smaller it would get stretched any larger it would get shrunk.
This does not seem to be the case because when I made a to size wallpaper and went thru settings to make it the wallpaper I get a stretchable square inside the wallpaper display (rectangle box with drag handles on edges) and I have to drag box to select the entire image.
I was also wondering what default size is for Icons
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You

The small square is just there in case you want to crop what shows as your wallpaper.
The default icon size for the Droid (and all HDPI devices) is 72x72.

Hi all,
I'm working on some wallpapers for android, but I want to know the exact size of the image for each phone/resolution so that the user doen't have to crop the picture.
In my case, I have a Desire, which has a resolution of 480*800, and most people use 5 pages (left2, left1, center, right1, right2).
How can I figure out the correct width for the wallpapers, as the scroll is kinda weird.
I hope you get what I mean
Also, can someone post the different resolutions of android phones?
Thx in advance for any answers
OK, I figured it out...
Phone Resolution = Wallpaper Size
240x320 = 480x320 (QVGA)
240x400 = 480x400 (WQVGA)
240x432 = 480x400 (WQVGA)
320x480 = 640x480 (HVGA)
480x800 = 960x800 (WVGA)
480x854 = 960x854 (WVGA)
Hope somebody will find this useful too

Has always been 2x horizontal resolution by 1x vertical resolution, not exactly rocket science IMHO
i actually found op's results somewhat useful but then also poster ^ there for explaining it by x2 by x1. i have been having trouble finding a good wallpaper cause my tablet is 7" but res. is, i think, 800x480. so my size would be 1600x480, right?
the issue i always have is when i pick a wall it tells me to crop but even after i crop it, it doesnt size it correctly like i had cropped it
tablet is orignally in landscape but w/ a rotate app i also use portrait, if that even matters at all
i would like to have a scrollable wallpaper so i can see all of my wallpaper..
also i would like to ask if there is any program which resizes and set's the full image as my wallpaper... (i tried wallpaper wizardrii, image resizers etc. but nothing..)
i am using rcmix runny v3.1

You can't have scrolling wallpaper on Sense 3+ because the homescreens wrap around. Otherwise you'd have a jump from one edge of the image to the other as you scroll between your leftmost and rightmost homescreens and it would look terrible.
As for using the full image, that works fine here on Runny 3.1. The homescreen background is 400x800 480x800, so as long as your image is the same aspect ratio you can drag the crop indicator to fit the full image when you select it. Obviously if you're trying to use an image that's not in 1:2 3:5 ratio you'll only be able to use a portion of it.

Actually jumping from one end of the wallpaper to the other isn't that terrible. Back in the days before Sense 3.0 when we had scrollable wallpapers and if you used third party launchers (that allowed continuous scrolling of the homescreens) it was possible and not at all that unpleasant.

I use photoshop, but GIMP is an amazing free alternative (that's if you're after a full image editing program: there's plenty of other options if all you want is to resize images and nothing else).

My DHD too, so I switched to golaucher ex to enable scroll wallpaper.
