Best source for beautiful lockscreens and tile backgrounds

[anon(5969054)]

Please link to websites or apps that offer high quality images for the use of lockscreens or backgrounds.

Be selective, we only want the best. Related apps to manipulate or create gradients or blurs can also be mentioned.

I'll list them together in this post. Let's collect a great overview here of what's available.

CREATIVE APPS

• Polyscreen

BACKGROUND/LOCKSCREEN APPS

• Rudy's lockscreen app *coming*
• das Image

BACKGROUND/LOCKSCREEN WEBSITES

• Bing image archive

If you think this list contains unworthy apps/websites you can ask to remove them.

Press the search button on your phone, type something (color, car, natur, ...), swipe to pictures, save it, use it.

This is not the purpose of this topic... I'm looking for quality selections.

If/when I see more, I'll update my post. I love great backgrounds but I'll have to do a little more digging to find my more *premiere* sites on my N10 and WP

He's right on point. There's tons of "quality selections" to be found all over the internet by doing a simple image search in Bing (or google if you roll that way). I can't believe the amount of people that think you have to have "an app for that".
Shoot, ask Cortana to show you a list of backgrounds...

This topic is for the lazy, they don't want to search endlessly. I want to get a list of the best sources only.

Hi, I use these sites:

wallpaperscraft.com
pickywallpapers.com
wallbase.cc
wallpaperswide.com

Always find the "right one" hope it's helpful.

Sites providing wallpapers should be easy to find for everyone. But I think he is looking for an app

 

[TonyDedrick]

Not sure why everyone's getting so offended over silly things. So what if everyone thinks there is an app for everything? And I think search engines are valuable tools in finding phone wallpapers.

But for the sake of the OP questions, Zedge usually has alot of quality images. And the app is finally available for Windows Phone.

Honestly, Android Central has some nice images in their Wallpaper section...I submitted an idea to Daniel for a similar wallpaper section on the WPCentral site.

One person has already mentioned it, but I love Zedge. I strongly suggest that app.

 

[Laura Knotek]

There will be no further personal attacks in this thread. Please discuss the topic and do not argue amongst each other.

 

[spicypadthai]

As mentioned, the Hubble Site has a lot of cool stuff, and the Windows Phone app is good. So is the Astronomy Hub app, too.

Bing image search is the best. I found this beauty last night.
