Download the macOS 14 Sonoma wallpapers here

Apple took the wraps off macOS 14 Sonoma at WWDC 2023, in June. It launched in September, the same year. Aside from a series of improvements and changes, macOS Sonoma came with a new set of wallpapers. Luckily, you don’t need Sonoma (or a Mac, for that matter) to get the macOS 14 Sonoma wallpapers.

You can easily download the macOS Sonoma wallpapers thanks to our friends at iGeeksBlog. The first two show an abstract, wavy, colorful image with a varying spectrum of colors. There are two versions, using different hues. Later, Apple added a few colorful monochromatic wallpapers. Apple also included an image of Sonoma Valley, which is the place the OS version name is based on. You can find them all below.
