If you’re looking to create an iPhone lock screen or wallpaper that’s totally unique to you, the swirled planet wallpaper is your best bet. This (inter)stellar trend has launched into the stratosphere and is flying across social media, and there’s a simple way to create your own version with Picsart. So, strap in and get ready to start exploring this galactic edit!

What Is the Swirled Planet Wallpaper Trend?

The latest viral sensation taking TikTok (and the Solar System) by storm is the swirled planet wallpaper trend that morphs personal images into marbled planets to use in space-inspired creations. You can transform any photo in your camera roll, so it’s a great way to use images you adore in a creative design. People have been marbling their partners, their pets, and even their loved ones’ eyes into swirled planets — incorporating their worlds into new worlds, so to speak.

How Do I Hop on This Trend?

Follow these steps to prepare for a swirled planet wallpaper launch:

  1. Open the Picsart app, and add a picture.
  2. Select “Tools” and then “Stretch.”
  3. Tap the “Swirl CW” button on the toolbar.
  4. Hold down your screen to swirl the image, and then swirl the whole thing to achieve the desired effect.
  5. Tap “Apply” once you’re done swirling.
  6. Select “Tools” and then “Shape Crop.”
  7. Select the circle in the toolbar.
  8. Add the circle over your swirls (this will be your planet) and press “Apply.”
  9. Change the size to zero and then save.
  10. Select “Sticker” on the bottom toolbar.
  11. Search “Crescent Moon” and add the moon sticker.
  12. Add the sticker to the outer edge of your circle and press “Apply.” This gives the planet a more 3D, rounded, look.
  13. Tap “Tools” and select “Shape Crop.”
  14. Add the circle again and press “Apply.”
  15. Change the size to zero and then save.
  16. Select “Fit” on the bottom toolbar, and in the Color selection, choose black.
  17. At this point, you can add other space-inspired stickers like stars, moons, and even an astronaut. Go wild!
  18. You can also turn the swirled image to make it look more like a planet.
  19. Press “Apply” and then “Save.”

And it’s that simple. You can customize your swirled planet wallpaper with a few planets, or make multiple designs for each image you choose to swirl into a heavenly body. When you blast off 2022 with this trend, the galaxy is the limit!
