Question Samsung Galaxy Wallpaper issues?

[saflyfish]

If i go into my Gallery to set a photo or image as wallpaper the sides of the image are usually cropped out.
Is there a way to make the image smaller without the Gallery auto resizing the image?

Is there an app that does this automatically or what is the workaround?

You need to adjust your original image to fit the size/ratio of your screen. Just like movies have those black bars on TVs, if the image doesn't 'fit' your screen, you'll either get it zoomed in or cropped out (i.e. the black bars). You can re-size using the built-in Image Editor on your phone.

I dont want the black bars

You can either zoom in while setting the Wallpaper to fill your screen or you have to re-size your image to the same aspect ratio as your phone. For instance, if you have a Galaxy S25 Ultra, the aspect ratio should be 19.5:9 (resolution 1440x3120). That's the image size (or a factor of) that you should target if you want the picture to fill your screen. Anything else will have to be filled with bars or cropped out from zooming in.
