[Q] Creating own wallpaper, what is the right size?!

Hey guys,
quick question.
I make a wallpaper from my own picture cropped to 800x1280. Perfect right? I load it on my tablet it looks great but when I set it to wallpaper it forces me to crop and doesnt get past 1/4 of the picture vertically. I thought the resolution was that size? Am I missing something here?
Thanks

Pinch out to resize the crop window.

I cant access that file to find out the size. Do you know it?
And to responder#2. I didn't mean a simple pinching of resizing the crop window. I got that. What I meant was it won't let me "pinch" out all the to my 800x1280 picture. It limits my selection area.
BTW I had this problem since day 1 of android usage. I just never cared enough to ask since phone displays are so small, but being this is my first tablet..a wallpaper makes a difference now.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Go get your own favorite 800x1280 picture. Download it, save it to gallery. And set wallpaper..you will not be able to set the ENTIRE image as wallpaper.

Figured it out.

basically, download PicSpeed Wallpapers
Then when you set your pic as Wallpaper choose picspeed. And they offer different orientation.

Thanks man that app worked like a charm

PicSpeed has absolutely no effect - images still badly cropped when set as wallpaper.
Has anyone sussed this obvious and stupid problem?

Picspeed worked great for me, no more weird cropping on my wallpapers.

So you can see what it will look like in both portrait and landscape.

And all the 1280x800 wallpapers everyone said is correct for Nexus 7 are no good either, can't use the whole image The cropped parts are just too zoomed in and don't look high-res.
I'm having better luck using my 1920x1080 wallpapers on it.

I would recommend searching for 2560. It yields results for both 2560x1440 and 2560x1600.
This is where I looked for mine.

If you don't use a launcher that rotates, you can use Wallpaper Wizardry from the Play Store to set the wallpaper to use the whole 1280x800 image. If you allow your launcher to rotate to landscape the image will be cropped and have black bars on the sides.

wallpaper wizardrys black bars in landscape are what annoy me, i wish there was a solution where we could crop both landscape and portrait separately in stock Google

Should be 1536x1280, if 4.2 follows the wallpaper configuration of previous versions, which is usually 2:1 the screen's resolution (to account for scrolling). Since the screen is 1280x768, should be correct. For instance, the Nexus 7 wallpapers are 1600x1280, and that device is 1280x800.
I think.

This nails it. Probably only going to be able to find 1440x1280 but that will work just fine!

Thank you so much!

That depends on what device you have. What resolution is your screen?

Nexus 4 stock!?

Just open wallpaper in web browser and hold finger on it choose set as wallpaper. No cropping
Or upload to drop box and carry on as above

1280 x 1536 ( 768x2 )
Sorry if I wrong.

This is how I set my wallpapers , simple and no cropping

[Q] Nexus 7 wallpaper sizing

I have read dozens of threads here and elsewhere that ask how to resize images on the Nexus 7 so that they are not badly cropped.
Not one question has been answered properly and one solution (PicSpeed) is a joke as it does nothing.
Surely it is not beyond the wit of man (or even xda!) to design a solution to this ridiculous problem? It's a huge disappointment to be prevented from using one's own images as wallpaper on the home screen background.
I await a development with interest.

No comments?

I download 720P or 1080p wallpapers and use quickpic app to crop them. This means they don't zoom in like the idiotic standard gallery crop.
Solves the issue.

You could try wallpaper wizardrii from play store..just use the scale option once installed.

1600 x 1280.
The standard gallery crop box will default to covering the entire image, there is no re-sizing which obviously degrades quality.

I use Simple Image Wallpaper. It's free in the Play Store and works great. Super easy.

1600 x 1280 doesn't work; wallpaper is zoomed into about a quarter of the full image. Tiny images and huge images & everything in between are all resized to show exactly the same part of the image - about a quarter.
Will try the other apps.
Thanks for the replies but I don't see anything overriding the inbuilt resizing.

Consensus seems to be it doesn't work and worse crashes the N7.
