Let’s welcome the new month with some new wallpapers. Designed with love by artists and designers from across the globe, they are available in versions with and without a calendar for April 2022.
For more than eleven years now, we have stuck to our little tradition of welcoming the new month with a fresh collection of desktop and mobile wallpapers — to bring a bit of variety to your screens and maybe even spark new ideas. And, well, it isn’t any different this time around.
In this post, you’ll find wallpapers for April 2022, created with love by artists and designers from across the globe. All of them come in versions with and without a calendar and can be downloaded for free. And since some things are just too good to gather dust hidden somewhere deep down in the archives, we also compiled a selection of timeless April wallpapers from past years’ editions at the end of the post. Maybe you’ll rediscover one of your almost-forgotten favorites in there, too? Enjoy!
- You can click on every image to see a larger preview,
- We respect and carefully consider the ideas and motivation behind each and every artist’s work. This is why we give all artists the full freedom to explore their creativity and express emotions and experience through their works. This is also why the themes of the wallpapers weren’t anyhow influenced by us but rather designed from scratch by the artists themselves.
- Submit a wallpaper!
Did you know that you could get featured in our next wallpapers post, too? We are always looking for creative talent.
