Boox Palma wallpaper size824 × 1648 px
The Boox Palma wallpaper size is 824×1648 pixels, a 1:2 portrait shape that is twice as tall as it is wide. The Palma 3, Palma 2, Palma 2 Pro and P6 Pro all use it. Crop your picture to that shape here, so you choose what stays instead of the Palma.

Lower strength keeps soft edges like hair and fur. Keep background fades the old background in instead of erasing it.
Fine-tune

How it works
1Use the exact size
824×1648 pixels, portrait. Anything else gets scaled, padded with bars, or cropped by the device.
2Tune for e-ink
Phone photos and most wallpapers are 3:4 or 9:16. On the Palma's 1:2 screen a 3:4 picture loses about a third of its width. Drag the preview to keep the face or the subject in frame, or pick a tall picture to begin with: full-length portraits, towers, trees and Japanese scroll paintings fit naturally.
3Install
Any PNG on the device, picked in Boox's screensaver settings. Step-by-step instructions are under the download button.

Palma 2 Pro: color, but pale
The Palma 2 Pro's Kaleido 3 screen shows color at a lower resolution and with much paler tones than a phone. Pick the Palma 2 Pro in the tool to keep colors, and push saturation and contrast further than looks right on your phone.
Setting it
Copy the PNG to the Palma (USB, BooxDrop or any cloud app), then pick it in the screensaver settings. Boox lets you set separate images for sleep and power-off. Menu names move between firmware versions, so search Settings for "screensaver" if you can't find it.

Common questions
›My Palma wallpaper is stretched or has bars
It isn't 824×1648. Phone wallpapers are usually 1080×1920 or similar (9:16), which is wider than the Palma's 1:2. Re-make it at 824×1648 here.
›Is the Palma 2 wallpaper size different from the Palma 3?
No. The Palma 3, Palma 2, Palma 2 Pro and P6 Pro all use 824×1648.
›It looks muddy in grayscale
Phone photos rely on color contrast that disappears in 16 grays. Raise contrast in the grayscale preview until the subject separates from the background.
