Getting your wallpapers onto your Lock Screen is now a guided walkthrough: tap Set up my Lock Screen after you save, or find it in Settings any time. And Surprise Me lets you turn down the ones you don't love: tap the X and that wallpaper stays out of your album.
TURN YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES AND SHOWS INTO WALLPAPER ART. Tap the franchises, directors and genres you love, with no account and no sign-in, and Movie Canvas turns them into poster wallpapers in seconds. Or connect your ratings and it builds from the films and TV you've actually watched. No design skills needed: choose a layout, pick your device, and it composes a crisp, gallery-ready image at your screen's exact resolution. Save it to Photos and set it as your lock screen, home screen, iPad wallpaper, or desktop background. FREE, WITH EVERYTHING INCLUDED No in-app purchases, no subscription and no adverts. Every layout, every size and every wallpaper you make is yours, unwatermarked. SURPRISE ME Tap once and get a handful of finished wallpapers with nothing to choose: a different layout, finish and cast every time, as often as you like. Want more? Ask for 10, 20 or 30 at a time and save the whole set to one album in a single tap, ready for a Photo Shuffle Lock Screen that changes every hour. The app shows you how to set one up. Turn on Save every run to Photos in Settings and each run saves itself to a Movie Canvas Surprise album for its screen, replacing the last set. iOS asks you to confirm; say no and both sets stay. Only wallpapers Movie Canvas saved there are ever removed. EIGHT LAYOUTS • Poster Wall: the classic grid, edge to edge • Fanned Mosaic: overlapping, tilted posters across the whole screen • Hero and Band: one cinematic backdrop with an arc of posters • Scatter Collage: layered posters at varied sizes and depth • One Sheet: a single film, full bleed, with its title and year • Filmstrip: your posters in the frames of 35mm film • Top 10: a podium of the ten you choose, #1 featured • Spine Shelf: posters standing as cases on a shelf YOUR TOP 10, IN YOUR ORDER A rating cannot pick ten favorites when you have rated hundreds of films the same. So the Top 10 editor opens on the order the canvas draws, lets you drag it into the order you want, and browses the rest of your selection to swap films in. It tells you when a tie decided the cut. A FRESH ONE EVERY MORNING Turn on a morning nudge and Movie Canvas opens straight into Surprise Me, with a handful of new wallpapers built from your own library. Pick the time. Turn it off whenever you like. Or pair the Make a Wallpaper Shortcuts action with Set Wallpaper in an automation, and it changes without opening the app. WORDS OF YOUR OWN Top 10 and One Sheet will take a heading you write. Call it anything you want and see it in the preview as you type. BUILD FROM A FRANCHISE OR A DIRECTOR No account and no library needed. Search a franchise and get every film in it, or pick a director or an actor and build a wall from their filmography. SEASONAL DESIGNS Blood running down the screen in October, snow and strings of lights in December, hearts in February. Every ornament is drawn to your screen's size, so it is sharp on a watch face and on a poster print. FITS EVERY SCREEN EXACTLY True device resolution for iPhone, iPad in either orientation, and desktop monitors, plus Apple Watch faces, square and story sizes for sharing, and 300 dpi prints up to 18 by 24 inches. Movie Canvas also runs on a Mac with Apple silicon and builds for your actual screen, ultrawide included. BUILT FROM YOUR TASTE Pull posters from your ratings and watchlist, filtered by genre or studio, sorted by rating, release date, or when you rated them. Connect your movie account, or use it alongside How to Movie and How to TV. No account? Pick what you love when you first open the app, and change your picks any time in Settings. DESIGN, SAVE, REPEAT Save any setup as a reusable job and re-run it whenever your list grows. Everything you make is kept, so you can come back to it. Design a wallpaper as unique as your taste in movies. Movie Canvas uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
