"Ah, July. The sweet spot of the summer months has finally arrived: We haven’t hit the sticky heat of August, but we’re past the occasionally cold nights in June. Now is officially the time to take that much-needed PTO, grab a drink to sip on a patio in the sunshine, and soak up the rays whenever and wherever possible. For us over here at The Everygirl, July is all about making the most of the weather. We’re hosting dinner parties with friends, getting out into nature, generally channeling coastal grandmother energy, and probably attending a baseball game or two. We hope that you, our readers, are doing much of the same!
In the spirit of summertime, we have a fabulous collection of July-inspired tech backgrounds for you this month. Though we encourage you to make the most of your summer Fridays, we also know that you need a little extra boost of sunshine when you do get back to work, which is why we’re so excited for you to have these backgrounds. We hope they serve as a reminder that a girl can do it all (“it all” being respond to emails and lay out like a lizard in the sun, of course). Happy background shopping! Be sure to share which background you choose by tagging us on Instagram @theeverygirl!
Free Wallpaper Backgrounds
For years, The Everygirl has been releasing monthly tech backgrounds to give your home screen a put-together, refreshed vibe. We include options for all devices, so you have choices for your phone screen, desktop or laptop, and your iPad or tablet. If you love having a calendar right on your screen to easily glance at throughout the month, we’ve got you covered—several of our backgrounds feature calendars, with options for a Sunday or Monday start. We also provide second-screen options for each tech background, so if you’re working on two screens (like a laptop and a monitor at the same time), you can have two of the same design.
When do The Everygirl Tech Backgrounds come out?
The Everygirl Tech Backgrounds are usually available three days before the first of each month to give you plenty of time to change your screens, but this month we released them even earlier!
How to Download Tech Backgrounds
To download from one of our monthly tech background selections, scroll through the article to find one that you love. Then, click the link to the size you wish to download to access the image and download it to your desktop.
Pro Tip: You Don’t Have to Choose Just One!
If you’re adding your tech backgrounds to a Mac, you can have your tech backgrounds rotate as often as you want. Start by downloading all of the tech backgrounds you want and adding them to one folder. Then, navigate to the wallpaper tab in your Mac settings and scroll down to the button that says “add folder.” Once it’s added, click the “rotate” button and frequency with which you want to shuffle the images.
Backgrounds Without Words
Last month, we received lots of requests for backgrounds without text or calendars on them. We’re so happy that you love the pictures chosen and are excited to let you know that “Second Screen” is a wordless option available for desktops.
Hot dogs. The perfect 4th of July outfit. All of the yummy grilling side dishes. Shopping 4th of July sales. A red, white, and blue manicure. Sitting on the beach or outdoors on a warm summer night.

Staring at it will instantly transport you to some of your best memories with friends and family celebrating the holiday in early July.
