I actually just learned this earlier today, as I too, was sick of getting crappy images set as my wallpaper.

There's a app called wallpapyrus that a few recommended. It seems to be gone from the google play store, but you can find the apk pretty easily.

What I ended up doing what using this format in my browser to where the backgrounds are stored. Then you can long press them and set them as wallpaper. Works great.

Background apps or you can do it the traditional way and photo edit the size of the image. I haven't used a background app in ages, so I don't have a recommendation. I normally just use photoshop if I want to change something.

Scale your image to 1600x1280.

QuickPic is my preferred app for assigning wallpaper.

You're not doing something right then. Read the Nexus7 guidebook, or tell us exactly the steps you're taking and the results you're seeing.

Did you try to EDIT the image in Quickpic to shrink it?

Google it. There are plenty of pages telling you how to resize images. Quikpic does resize images -- (edit) cropping is usually indicated by a right-angle tool, and resize by concentric squares or something.

Re: how ao i make my wallpaper a whole image

I can relate with you, I have the same problem, why such an easy task like adding a wallpaper from a picture can be such an difficult thing? On my Ipad all I have to do is select the picture and it does everything, like magic (lol)

Blurred and cropped means that your image is too small. The image needs to be native size or larger. If it is larger, it will crop down but if the image is too small, it will stretch it out to fit the screen and cause blur.

Find another source.

You can easily re-size down but to make an image larger, it will just distort, and not just talking about on android. This is a general rule.

I have a 7" Galaxy Tab 3 and had the same problem. I found that because of the "crop" issue that the tablet makes you do... you have to size the image to a square... I use 1600 x 1600 ... you could try smaller too, depending on the original size. Works like a dream. Even fits in the portrait upright position. Finally!!!

Every app allows you size the area of the image you want to use for your wallpaper, usually displayed as a square with little cube "handles" on each side of the square. Tap and drag on the square to move it around, then tap and drag a handle to increase or decrease the area of the image you want to use.

Variation: QuickPic uses handles on the CORNERS of the area selection square.

Again, this works best if the image is bigger than the width and height of the desktop, including all scrolling home screens. On my Nexus 7 '12, I use images 1600x1200 or larger.

So, I know this post is suuuuper old, but I found an app that works! Try "Image 2 Wallpaper" in the Google Play store. (This worked on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3)
