The Best Anime Wallpapers Sites For The Desktop

Japanese animation (known in the West as anime

So where can you personalize your desktop to reflect your love for your favorite anime? These are the five best sites to find the best anime wallpaper for desktop easily.

WallHaven.cc

Following in the footsteps of the now defunct 4Scrape and 4Walled, Wallhaven offers an intuitive wallpaper database and search tool with a dedicated section for anime wallpapers and decent filters to remove adult content or borderline content.

You can arrange wallpapers by popularity, age or in any order. There are also complex filters for finding images of a specific resolution or shape. Keywords and tags are created by the community, so sometimes you may find something unsafe to work with and mislabeled. The good news is that you can fix these tags yourself.

Another very handy feature is available if you register and log in. The site will remember which wallpapers you have already seen and mark them.

The volume and range of anime wallpapers on this site is staggering, and you will even find loads of related fun wallpapers in the General section. This is a great first opportunity to quickly put together a robust collection of anime wallpapers.

Wallhere

Wallair is clearly aiming for the Wallhaven crown with an interface and overall look that looks very similar at first glance. Once you really start using the site, you realize that they are actually quite different.

First, there is no dedicated anime section, although there are many anime wallpapers on the site. We found that the easiest way to solve this problem is to simply search for the keyword “anime” and you will see almost everything available.

The filters on offer are not as detailed as Wallhaven’s and there is only one NSFW switch, not another site’s three-tiered system, but with a little extra effort you can narrow it down to what you are looking for and cut out all the noise.

It’s a little annoying that you have to be logged in to download full quality images, but once that is sorted it’s pretty straightforward.

Minitokyo

Minitokyo is one of the most revered anime wallpaper sites on the internet, having been around for many years. This is an anime pop culture site altogether, but it is known for its wallpapers, as well as very high resolution anime and manga scans that can be used to create the wallpaper or the wallpaper itself.

Compared to sites like WallHaven and Wallhere, Minitokyo seems a little dated. You will also find many of his wallpapers on other sites, but this is where they originated and some of the more unique and less popular can only be found here. Scans are also invaluable, even if you just want to use them directly as wallpaper.

r / Animewallpaper

r / Animewallpaper is a Reddit community that consistently produces quality anime wallpapers. You can request specific wallpapers to be created by the community by chatting directly with the wallpaper data creator.

Unlike specialized sites like Wallhaven, you are dealing with the best thing to do with the functionality of a Reddit site, the Anime Wallpapers community has developed its own rules to help you filter out wallpapers that you are not interested in. For example, each message is tagged as “Mobile” or “Desktop”. By clicking on one of these tags, you will see messages of any type.

Posters also try to put resolutions in the headline of the message. You can use Reddit’s general search function to search r / Animewallpaper for specific keywords and thus find what you are looking for. It’s neither smooth nor fast, but some of the best wallpapers can be found here. Many of them will take time to get to places like WallHaven and Wallhere, or will simply be forgotten on this Reddit page. This is a real treasure trove if you take the time to study it.

Wallpaper Abyss

Wallpaper Abyss lives up to its name by offering a huge collection of wallpapers. Its anime subsection is missing 180,000 wallpapers at the time of writing. You might think that with such a huge collection of images, it would be difficult to find what you need. In fact, Wallpaper Abyss has some pretty good filters and a search engine to help narrow down your choices.

You can choose to view only images of a certain resolution and even change the display of the wallpaper from pagination to infinite scrolling. While it may not look as sleek as newer sites on the Internet, Wallpaper Abyss has it all.

Desu Anime Wallpapers

In the olden days, before anime was so popular, it was not easy to find a good wallpaper. Fans had to visit rather dubious sites from time to time to find the images they wanted.

These five sites we think are the best for most fans, but there is certainly a long list of good sites to add to this group. So share your favorite sites in the comments and tell us about your favorite TV shows while you do it.

If you want to try your hand at creating your own wallpapers, check out our guide and perhaps one day you will add your own creations to the sites above.
