Make a Bible verse wallpaper for your phone
Pick what you are carrying today, pick a verse, pick a style. Your lock screen becomes the first thing you read every time you reach for your phone.
Or type your own verse
Sized for iPhone (1170 × 2532). The top third is left clear for the clock.
To set a Bible verse as your iPhone lock screen, make the image here, download it, open it in Photos, tap Share › Use as Wallpaper, and position it so the verse sits below the clock. This maker leaves the top third clear for that reason.
Want a verse at the exact moment you need it?
This tool is from the makers of Lampstep: Bible for Real Life, a daily Bible verse app built around real moments. According to its App Store listing:
- Today’s Fork: a real-life moment with 3–4 honest choices, then the exact verse and a plain-English why
- SOS, always free: anxious, angry, tempted, can’t sleep or grieving? Breathe, then one verse, one next step and a short prayer
- One tap from the app, a widget or Siri
- About one minute a day
Setting it on your iPhone
1. Tap Download (or Share image on your phone and choose Save Image). 2. Open Settings › Wallpaper › Add New Wallpaper › Photos and pick the image. 3. Pinch to adjust so the verse sits under the clock. 4. Tap Add, then choose Set as Wallpaper Pair or customize the home screen separately.
Why a lock screen verse works
Most of us pick up our phones dozens of times a day. Each time, the verse is there before the notifications are. It is the simplest form of Scripture memory there is: seeing the same words over and over until they are yours. Change it every week or two so it stays fresh.
Questions
Which translation are the verses from?
The World English Bible, a modern translation in the public domain, which is why it is free to put on an image. It writes God’s name as “Yahweh” where many translations print “the LORD”. You can also type a verse from your own Bible.
Will it fit my phone?
The image is 1170 × 2532 pixels, the size of most recent iPhones. On other phones it is scaled to fit; the verse stays centred.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The wallpaper is drawn in your browser and saved straight to your device.
Can I print it or use it for church slides?
Yes. The World English Bible is public domain, so you can use the image however you like.
