Moon Wallpapers: Lunar Landscapes in 4K

Free 4K moon wallpapers. Download full moon photographs, lunar surface detail and night skies with the moon in frame.

This collection is built around the moon close enough to show its craters, hanging in a sky that has been emptied of every other light, and that is the whole point of it. Silent, huge and slightly unreal, and the palette leans silver, deep blue and the warm grey of lunar dust. The images were chosen for the way they behave at full screen rather than for the way they look as a thumbnail, which is the difference between a wallpaper that disappears behind your icons and one that still holds your attention after a week. Every file is served from our own domain in three sizes, with the author, the licence and the real pixel dimensions attached, so nothing is a surprise after you click download.

If you want a specific look, use the filters and the tags under each section. Narrowing by colour, device or mood is faster than scrolling, and the tag pages link to every related picture so you never hit a dead end.

The images are ordered by how recently they were added rather than by popularity, which keeps the collection fresh and gives every single entry a chance to be discovered by search engines and by image browsers.

Every picture below was checked for resolution, framing and compression artefacts before it was published, so what you download is the version you saw in the thumbnail. Open any card to see the full metadata, the licence and the download link.

The collection currently includes, among others, Full moon partially obscured by atmosphere, Space Shuttle Discovery under a full moon, FullMoon2010.
