These are our favorite reader-created Android wallpapers of 2024

Here at Android Authority, we run a weekly series called Wallpaper Wednesday. Every Wednesday, we post an article with nine wallpaper images: six created by our readers and three by our staff. Usually, these are photographs that would make good wallpapers, but we see digital art sometimes, too. All the wallpapers are devoid of watermarks and free for anyone to download and use. We’ve been running Wallpaper Wednesday for over three years now, and it’s become a mainstay of the site.

Below, you’ll find 18 of our favorite Wallpaper Wednesday images we saw in 2024 as well as credits for each one. As you browse through, please don’t download any images directly from this page. The photos here have been compressed and won’t look great on your device. Instead, head to the bottom of the article and click the button to get these walls in their high-resolution glory!
