Get the MacOS Tahoe 26 Default Wallpapers in 6k

MacOS Tahoe 26 has an all new updated interface appearance that Apple calls Liquid Glass, and with that comes a glassy watery default wallpaper pair in both light with blue hues and dark with more purple hue colors. The new MacOS Tahoe 26 default wallpaper is abstract but pleasant, recognizable as an abstraction of a wave, perhaps similar to colors and waves you might see for yourself if you were half-submerged in Lake Tahoe, the lake that the new MacOS operating system is named after.

But you don’t have to install MacOS Tahoe 26 just to get the new wallpapers, and you can grab and download the full-sized 6k versions at 6016 × 6016 resolution below by clicking on either link, which will open the full sized image in a browser window. You can then save it to your Mac and use it as desktop wallpaper, or stylize the background wallpaper on any other device, whether it’s another Mac, iPhone, iPad, Windows PC, Linux machine, or Android device.
