About The Author · 2026-04-30 · via Articles on Smashing Magazine — For Web Designers And Developers

Let’s welcome May with a new collection of desktop wallpapers! Following our monthly tradition, the wallpapers were created by the community for the community and can be downloaded for free. Enjoy!

May has a way of sneaking in with longer days, softer light, and that first real hint of summer in the air. It’s the season of fresh ideas and just enough energy to start something new, or finally pick up something you’ve been putting off. And sometimes, all it takes to spark that little bit of inspiration is a fresh view… even if it’s just on your desktop.

That’s where our monthly wallpapers series comes in. For the past 15 years, artists and designers from around the world have been contributing their designs to celebrate each new month. This May is no exception. Created with care and a unique personal touch, every wallpaper in this collection comes in a variety of screen resolutions and can be downloaded for free. A huge thank-you to everyone who got creative — this post wouldn’t be possible without your wonderful support!

If you too would like to get featured in one of our upcoming wallpapers posts, please don’t hesitate to join in. We can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with! Happy May!

  • 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.

Make this May the best so far!” — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.
