What is the difference between regular Zedge Wallpapers and Zedge Premium Wallpapers?
ZEDGE Premium is a new section where professional artists can offer their work, and earn money by doing so. All content in ZEDGE Premium has been licensed to Zedge by the owners of the content.
Okay, Premium is different, what do I need to know?
Here’s how it works:
- Many items are free but some can only be previewed for free. If you want to download a Premium content item you may have to take an action that earns the artist money to unlock it.
- Sometimes that action is as simple as watching an ad.
- Other times, you may need to pay for the item by redeeming ZEDGE credits.
- You can earn credits just by using ZEDGE, or you can buy credits in packs (the more you buy, the bigger a discount you get) We’ll be adding more ways to earn credits for free soon.
For more information on Zedge credits, please see the Terms of Service

I just uploaded a wallpaper. Why doesn't it show up in the "Recent" tab?
Zedge works hard to filter and sort all of the content users upload to our servers. Zedge users upload thousands of wallpapers every day. This means that it might take some time before your wallpaper shows up in the RECENT tab.
Is there a Family Filter?
Zedge automatically filters out nudity and explicit adult content but some content may occasionally slip through. If you find a particular background objectionable, please submit a request. Zedge is not intended for users under the age of 13.
The app can't connect to the internet, what do I do?
First, check your internet connection. Zedge must be connected to the internet in order to work.
If you still have problems connecting, Zedge might have some problems contacting the servers. In that case, we are already working hard to fix the problem and hope that you are patient with us. Please try again later.Why is the content loading so slowly?
The app loads data from the Zedge servers, so a fast data connection is recommended. The high resolution wallpapers, especially on retina screens, can be very large (10MB+) and may take a long time to load.
