A free fullscreen purple screen for mood lighting, streaming ambiance, and photography backdrops. Adjust the brightness, go fullscreen, or download it as a PNG at the resolution you need.
Purple is a common streaming and gaming setup color since it reads as vibrant on camera without the harshness of a fully saturated red or the coolness of blue, which is part of why it shows up so often in RGB lighting setups and stream overlays.
How to use it
- Set the brightness with the slider in the settings panel.
- Tap the fullscreen button on the color area. Press Esc, or use your browser's exit control on a phone, to leave fullscreen.
- To keep a copy, pick a size under Download (1080p, 4K, or your own screen) and save the PNG.
Watch out for: this page doesn't keep your screen awake, so lengthen your device's screen timeout before a long stream or recording, or the purple will dim and lock partway through.
