reMarkable 2 Screensaver Size: 1404 × 1872 px
The reMarkable 2 screensaver and wallpaper size is 1404 × 1872 pixels. That is a 10.3-inch e-ink panel with a 1:1.33 aspect ratio at 226 ppi. Export at exactly those dimensions and the image fills the screen with no stretching, cropping or black bars.
The reMarkable has no frontlight, so its screen is only ever as bright as the room. High-contrast images with plenty of white hold up far better here than dark or low-contrast ones.
Use the resizer below to crop any photo or artwork to those exact dimensions — it opens with the reMarkable 2 already selected, runs entirely in your browser, and never uploads your image anywhere.

Choosing an Image for the reMarkable 2
Getting the pixel dimensions right is only half of it. This panel has its own characteristics, and they change what kind of source image holds up on screen.
- At 226 ppi this panel is sharp enough for most artwork but will soften very fine detail. Line weights below about a pixel and small type tend to break up, so scale detail slightly larger than you would for a 300 ppi screen.
- The 1:1.33 ratio is close to a standard portrait photograph, so most vertical photos crop to fit with little loss. Landscape source images will lose a lot of their width — crop deliberately rather than letting the frame decide.
- E-ink is greyscale, so colour contrast disappears on screen. Check that your image still separates into clear light and dark areas once colour is removed — two colours of similar brightness will merge into one flat tone.

How to Set a Custom Screensaver on the reMarkable 2
reMarkable shows a fixed suspended screen rather than a user-selectable one. Changing it means replacing the image file on the device itself, which requires connecting over SSH or using a third-party tool built for that purpose.
- 1
Resize the image
Size the image to the reMarkable's exact screen resolution using the resizer above, then download it as a PNG.
- 2
Choose how to get onto the device
Either enable the developer SSH access shown in the device settings, or use a third-party reMarkable customization tool that handles the file transfer for you.
- 3
Replace the suspended screen image
Back up the existing suspended screen file first, then replace it with your own image using the same filename.
- 4
Restart the device
Reboot, then suspend the device to confirm the new image appears.
Note: This is not an officially supported customization. Firmware updates can overwrite the replaced file, and modifying system files carries some risk — back up the original first.
Devices That Use the Same 1404 × 1872 Size
4 other supported e-readers use the same panel resolution, so one image works across all of them.

reMarkable 2 Screensaver FAQ
- What size should a reMarkable 2 screensaver be?
- A reMarkable 2 screensaver should be 1404 x 1872 pixels — the device's exact panel resolution. That is a 10.3-inch screen with a 1:1.33 aspect ratio at 226 ppi. Matching these dimensions means the image fills the screen with no stretching, cropping or black bars.
- What format should the image be in?
- PNG or JPG both work on the reMarkable 2. PNG keeps sharp edges cleaner on text and line art, which suits e-ink. Because the screen is greyscale, high-contrast images with simple composition reproduce far better than busy colour photographs.
- Does the reMarkable 2 support custom screensavers?
- reMarkable shows a fixed suspended screen rather than a user-selectable one. Changing it means replacing the image file on the device itself, which requires connecting over SSH or using a third-party tool built for that purpose.
- Can I use the same image on other e-readers?
- Yes. 4 other supported e-readers use the same 1404 x 1872 panel as the reMarkable 2: Kobo Elipsa 2E, Boox Note Air Series, Boox Tab Ultra Series, PocketBook InkPad 4 / Color 3. One correctly sized image works on all of them without re-cropping.
