Galaxy iPhone Wallpaper — Animated Live Photo

Turn any galaxy photo into an animated live wallpaper for your iPhone lock screen. Free first wallpaper with Lockimate — no editing needed.

Why Galaxy photos make great live wallpapers

Deep-space scenes with slow cosmic rotation. When animated, a galaxy photo shows star drift, nebula swirl, light trails — subtle enough to look natural, striking enough to stop you every time you lift your phone.

No editing, no brushes — Lockimate turns your galaxy photo into a native live wallpaper automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work on all iPhone models?

Live Photo lock screen wallpapers are supported on iPhone XS and later, running iOS 16 or later. They animate on raise-to-wake and when you press the screen.

Is the output a native Live Photo or a video?

Lockimate outputs a native Apple Live Photo (.heic + .mov pair), not a video loop. This means it sets directly as a lock screen wallpaper without workarounds and animates on raise-to-wake like any camera-captured Live Photo.

How long does generation take?

Most wallpapers are ready in 30–90 seconds, depending on server load. You get a push notification when yours is done.

Your first galaxy wallpaper is on us — animate any photo into a native Live Photo in one tap.
