Free Jewel Tone Wallpaper for Devices

This month's free device designs are a combination of Jewel Tone Wallpaper and a sweet quote about all that September brings our way. With watercolor florals in vivid hues spilling in the corners, you're going to love this one. Download your device's jewel tone wallpaper below.

This month, we're embarking on some changes with the free printed calendars, but these device freebies will stay the exact same as always. I'll be posting the printable versions later this week...and I'm super excited about the direction we're heading with them. But for now, be sure to grab your jewel tone wallpaper below and get it installed for the month to come.

Jewel Tone Wallpaper

I love the colors that are heading our way in the coming season...especially in the earlier part of the season. Don't get me wrong, the deep browns and burnt oranges of late fall are nice, but give me those deep purples, reds, and oranges that are coming at us and I'm smitten. That was the direction I headed with this month's Jewel Tone Wallpaper designs. Hoping you enjoy these last pops of vivid, bright colors before we go a bit monochromatic next month.

Below, I've shared the different design options for September, as displayed on the computer versions of the wallpapers. Please keep in mind that the tablet and phone designs are *almost* the same as these computer versions, however, the orientation and text placement may differ slightly from device to device due to dimensions.

I really love this quote about September from Rowland E. Robinson. It's longer than the usual quotes I use on wallpapers, but it really resonated with me, so I just had to use it. Robinson was actually an artist and author...and a farmer! So, he certainly knew a lot about seasonal changes, which is evident in this quote. 

"September days have the warmth of summer in their briefer hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn." --Rowland E. Robinson

As always, the calendar versions of the wallpaper are only available for computers and tablets due to size limitations. Trust me, nobody wants to decipher a calendar of this size on a phone.

The "blank" versions of the device wallpapers are always the most popular choice amongst my readers (for good reason). They allow plenty of space for all of the icons and apps on your screens. 

Downloading onto an iPad or iPhone

**ANDROID USERS: Please note that many of the sizes of wallpapers available will certainly work on your phones, too. There are too many versions of Androids that it is nearly impossible to create specific designs and directions for those phones. But, definitely play around with the options available.

Back in 2019, when I started this free digital wallpaper series, I had several requests for help with how to change out wallpapers on an iPad or iPhone. I thought I'd share my own method (the way I do this is sort of cheating, but the fact that it's really easy makes that just fine). My high school freshman calls this an "unofficial" way to do this...he is actually my resident IT (I wish I were kidding, but he's definitely more technologically savvy than his mom).

• Before I start this process on my phone or tablet, I download my device's wallpaper design onto my actual computer (download links are available below). 
• I then email myself the file (I'm a gmail user and it allows me to email to the same address I'm sending from). If you'd like to skip the whole emailing yourself thing, you'll need to download the Dropbox app on your device (in addition to two other options, I provide all of the download links for these wallpaper designs within Dropbox for this very reason). I like to send readers to a tutorial on the Dropbox downloading method here on the iDownload Blog. But, again, if you'd like to avoid that, you can email yourself the image from your computer and open the email on your phone. Then, follow the steps listed below:
• Open the email that you sent yourself (with your wallpaper attachment) on your device's mail app. At the bottom of your email, you should see the words "Tap to Download". Go ahead and tap it.

• Tap on the image that you just downloaded within the email (it should show up at the bottom of the email). The above image (on the left) is what should pop up for you. Tap the square box outline with the upward arrow in the bottom left corner of your screen (labeled as 1 in the above image).
• After you've tapped the box, the screen pictured above right should appear. Tap 'Save Image' (labeled as 2 in the above image). Your design should now be saved to your device.
• Now, go to your HOME screen on your iPhone. Then, head to Settings>Wallpaper>Choose a New Wallpaper.
• On my phone, my images automatically save to my Camera Roll (I *think* this is the default on most iOS devices like iPhones and iPads). I select Camera Roll and then I find the wallpaper that I just downloaded. If your device saves elsewhere, you'll need to search that place for the download, instead.
• Feel free to set your new September wallpaper design to your lock screen, your home screen, or go a little wild and do both. It'll be a lovely oceanic time on your device!
• That will hopefully do the trick for you. Leave me a question in the comments section if you have any issues regarding this method.
