Drawing a striped wallpaper yourself is faster than hunting for stock. Define the stripes as a pattern, tile it across the canvas, swap the palette for a brand-new wallpaper and add your own text on top. A few steps in Online PS and you never have to trawl a stock site again.

New document & colour setup
1️⃣ In Online PS , click File → New (or Ctrl+N ) and create a canvas 1080 px wide × 1920 px high at 72 dpi (adjust the size as you like).
2️⃣ Create a new layer,Layer 1.
3️⃣ Set the foreground colour to black (#000000) and the background colour to mid grey (#807f7d). -

Add fibre noise
Choose Filter → Render → Fibers .
Settings: Variance 40, Strength 1, then click OK. -
3
Motion Blur – pull out vertical stripes
Choose Filter → Blur → Motion Blur .
Settings: Angle 90°, Distance 2000 px.
When it finishes you have a vertical “grating” effect. -

Layer style – Gradient Overlay
Double-clickLayer 1to open Layer Style.
Tick Gradient Overlay, change the blending mode to Overlay and set the angle to 0°.
Use a rainbow gradient:
purple → blue → green → yellow → red (add these colour stops in the Gradient Editor). -

Use the Gradient tool to build the stripe mask
1️⃣ Make sure the foreground colour is still black.
2️⃣ Pick the Gradient tool (G) and set the mode in the options bar to Foreground to Transparent.
3️⃣ Create Layer 2 and Layer 3 (both aboveLayer 1).
4️⃣ Drag a gradient from the bottom of the canvas upwards on Layer 2, and from the top downwards on Layer 3. That fades both ends, which is what produces the “striped” look. -
6
Add text & finish the wallpaper
Pick the Type tool (T), click anywhere on the canvas and type the text you want (for example “Hello World” or your signature).
Adjust font, size, colour and blending mode to taste so the text sits well with the stripes.
When you are done, save it with File → Export As → PNG/JPEG .
