Every Default macOS Wallpaper – in Glorious 6K Resolution
Every major version of Mac OS X macOS has come with a new default wallpaper. As you can see, I have collected them all here.
While great in their day, the early wallpapers are now quite small in the world of 5K and 6K displays.
If you want to see detailed screenshots of every release of OS X, click here.
If you are looking for Mac OS 9 wallpapers, this page is for you.

10.0 Cheetah & 10.1 Puma
The first two releases of Mac OS X shared the same wallpaper. The sweeping blue arcs and curves helped set the tone of the new Aqua interface.
10.2 Jaguar
Jaguar took the same Aqua-inspired theme but added some depth and motion to things. In my head, the trails streaking across the screen were from a set of comets.
10.3 Panther
While Panther inflicted Macs everywhere with Brushed Metal, its wallpaper stayed on brand, refreshing the original 10.0 image.
10.4 Tiger
Many consider Tiger to be the best “classic” version of Mac OS X. While that may or may not be true, it is my favorite Aqua-inspired wallpaper.
10.5 Leopard
Complete with a revised, unified user interface and shiny new Dock, 10.5 broke the Aqua mold. As such, Leopard was the first version of OS X to break from the Aqua-themed wallpaper. It ushered in the “space era” of OS X wallpapers, which was used heavily in the new Time Machine interface as well.
10.5 Leopard Server
The server version of Leopard server came with its own unique wallpaper that is a real treat:
10.6 Snow Leopard
The “no new features” mantra for Snow Leopard didn’t ban a new wallpaper, thankfully. This starscape is still one of my favorites. The Server version isn’t bad either!
10.7 Lion
Lion kept up the space theme, this time showing off the Andromeda galaxy. The space nerd in me likes the idea, but the execution of this one leaves dead-last on my list of favorites.
10.8 Mountain Lion
Just like Snow Leopard before it, with Mountain Lion, Apple opted to clean up and revise the existing theme as opposed to changing directions for what would be a less-impactful release of OS X.
10.9 Mavericks
Mavericks marked the beginning of Apple’s “California location” naming scheme for Mac releases. The wave depicted looks as intimidating as the ones in the famous surfing location.
10.10 Yosemite
Yosemite brought another UI refresh to the Mac, making things flatter and more modern. The wallpaper ushered in a new era based on … well … mountains.
10.11 El Capitan
Named after a breathtaking spot in Yosemite National Park, El Capitan was a clean-up year after 10.10.
10.12 Sierra
10.13 High Sierra
Even more mountains.
10.14 Mojave
No more mountains! Mojave brought a new system-wide Dark Mode, and the OS shipped with two versions of its default wallpaper to match. Users could even have macOS slowly fade between the two background images over the course of the day.

10.15 Catalina
macOS Catalina brought big changes to the Mac, including the ability to run iPad apps natively, opening the platform up to a much larger number of developers than ever before. Catalina shipped with multiple variants of its default wallpaper, and the ability to shift between them as time progresses throughout the day:
Download 6K versions:
macOS Big Sur
This version of macOS is such a big deal, Apple changed the version number to 11.0. It will be the OS that brings support for Apple Silicon-powered Macs, and features a brand new design.
Download 6K versions:
macOS Monterey Beta
This version of macOS builds on Big Sur, bringing Shortcuts and a range of features that are also part of iOS and iPadOS 15. As of the first beta, Monterey does not include any new nature wallpapers as previous releases has.

Description
This app is an improved macOS version of Microsoft official «Bing Desktop». It downloads daily images from the Bing website and sets them as wallpapers, everything is automatic and does not require any intervention from you.
But this app is not a simple clone, it has many improvements and unique features:
* Fluent and express UI — almost all functions/options are available through app’s system menubar icon.
* Option to download pictures of 11 countries/cultures whereas Bing Desktop only allows one default culture.
* Many configurable options that let you control how daily pictures are downloaded and stored and more.
* Download history pictures of past 2 weeks so that you won’t miss them even if your computer is powered off for days, whereas Bing Desktop only downloads today’s picture.
* Browse and view all downloaded pictures in app’s picture gallery whereas Bing Desktop only allows browsing of pictures of past one week.
What’s New
*Fixed: some regression bugs

Beautiful!
Just what I was looking for. Love Bing’s daily pictures but don’t use Bing. This app now gets those pictures to my mac desktop! Worked as advertised out of the box, no issues.
One thing I discovered that might be helpful to others. I use Google Drive’s Backup and Sync app to keep my Mac’s “Pictures» folder in sync with my Google Photos. The “Daily Wallpaper Bing Edition» application was set to download Bing’s pictures to the same folder, which I had not realized until I saw all these Bing pictures show up in my Google Photos. The solution was to change this app to download Bing pictures to a folder other than the one Google Drive was using. That can be done through this application’s settings in the “Cache” section. Once I did that, however, I started getting an error saying that this app could not write to that folder. That can be fixed by making sure that the folder you select is writable — either by running a ‘chmod’ command using terminal or going to Finder, selecting GetInfo and then Sharing and Permnissions. Once this was done the app was downloading Bing pictures to that folder and they were kept separate from my personal Pictures. My suggestion to the author of this app would be to set the default download folder to something other than the “Pictures” folder on the Mac.
Great app overall. It’s a pleasure to look at my mac’s desktop now 🙂 !
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your detailed review. Custom cache location actually was broken in version 1.7.5. Please update to 1.7.6 to see if it works.
Sparks joy
I’ve always loved having the daily Bing wallpapers and was sad when I couldn’t have it any more when I switched to Mac. Love having a day little spark of joy every morning. 😉
Very pretty, but wont fill all my desktops.
on the preferences page of the app, it says that there is no room to for the other desktops, while i do in fact have more open. I just want multiple pictures to show up.
Other than that, i really like it. Very simple to use.

Ratings and Reviews
Love the images but have a question?
So, I LOVE the autumn images! But, I was under the impression that, since the preview shows several different images, that the images on my desktop would change? Is this now how it works? So far I’ve got the least appealing picture as my background and it hasn’t changed for 2 days lol Just wondering if It doens’t change or if there’s a way I can make the desktop one of the other pictures. But love the images and the app! Thanks!

If the issue is not fixed, you can contact our support team, and we’ll help you!
Love the Earth view
I just downloaded the earth background and at first I thought there was something wrong bc I had it update my location and it seemed like it was only showing. the opposite version. After reading other reviews I realized I needed to go back to my actual desktop settings and click on the dynamic background that apple provides, and clicked on the. «mojave» and then made sure the dynamic option was also selected. After that I reclicked on the earth dynamic from this app and now it set up with the correct «timezone».
In-App Purchase Error
I was very excited to have more intricate dynamic display options, and this seemed to be perfect. I tested the free backgrounds and they worked with a little extra work (which was expected). The issues arised when I tried to purchase the Earth background. The first go-round I recieved an error message. No big deal. Then I tried 3 or 4 more times before giving up. Just to be safe I checked my banking app, and sure enough, I had been charged each time. This may be an issue on Apple’s end. I really want to give a good review because it’s simple and easy to use. Upon rectafication I will edit this review accordingly.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback. Please update to the latest version, and use the Restore option. Everything should be back to normal now. If the problem persists, please contact our support team. If you tried to purchase the same wallpaper you should be charged only once. If you tried on others wallpapers, most probably you have been charged for all.
We are really sorry for any inconvenience!
