25 beautiful book wallpapers for your tablet, computer, and smartphone

From the magical world of the open book, to libraries full of books, to girls reading, you should be able to find the picture that fits your preferences and taste.

The best example in how brilliant book wallpapers can be are the ones designed by Vlad Gerasimov. They are subtle enough to stay behind home screen icons, and not distract you.

On the other side, pictures from Vlad Studio are so beautiful that unlocking a tablet or waking up a computer is immediately rewarded with a delightful magic of books.

It’s good to keep in mind that not every picture, even the most beautiful one, is good for a wallpaper. If the contrast is too high, or colors too bright, it will keep you distracted, and the screen icons will be hardly visible.

Also, some pictures just look good when used horizontally. When you crop them to the portrait view, they can look ugly, not proportional, and lose all their appeal.

Descriptions under each picture include:

• Orientation – whether there are versions of the image cut to horizontal, square or vertical proportions,
• Size – what sizes are available, usually marking the smallest and largest size,
• Download – a direct download link, usually to a medium-sized file. You can click or tap on it to download it to your device, then select it as a wallpaper,
• Credits – where you can find info about the author and more download options.

You can crop each of the pictures to proportions and dimensions of your device. Just make sure to pick up the size that is by width and height equal or larger than your device’s screen.

Some editing can be made using default photo tools available on your smartphone or tablet. For more advanced editing, you don’t need to download any special application. Just use one of the web-based tools. The best ones are: Canva, iPiccy, Pixlr, BeFunky, and Fotor.
