There’s something sacred about setting the vibe before a drone flight. Battery charged? Props tightened? Weather check complete?
And yet, one thing that always sets the tone before I ever power on the controller: the perfect desktop and smartphone background.
Whether I’m editing footage from a sunrise flight, prepping for a podcast or just pretending to organize my microSDs instead of watching drone fails on YouTube (we’ve all been there), I want my screen to reflect the same energy I bring to the field: bold, creative and unapologetically drone-obsessed.
So I have something for you.
FREE drone-themed desktop backgrounds and printables!
These aren’t just any designs — they’re vibrant, empowering, and packed with personality, thanks to the incredible illustrator Carli Krueger, who brought my wildest flying-daydreams to life in art form. Download them here.
Here’s the lineup:
“I Fly Like A Girl”
A rallying cry for every femme drone pilot out there, featuring the iconic Phantom drone in all its nostalgic glory. It’s a tribute to where so many of us started — and how far we’ve flown since.
“Fly Me To The Moon”
Drones as a gateway to aerospace, physics, and mathematics curiosity? Yes please. And it’s true: drones are increasingly popular as a tool in STEM programs.
With that in mind, this particular desktop background is cosmic and curious, reminding us that the sky isn’t the limit — it’s just the beginning.
“Quad Squad”
This one hits right in the industry heart. It’s about community, connection and the unspoken bond between friends who meet up before dawn to catch the perfect golden-hour shot or attend every drone event they can to catch up with those who don’t live nearby.
“We Can Fly It”
If Rosie the Riveter had a drone tucked under one arm and a LiPo charger in her back pocket — this would be her backdrop. A powerhouse design for every pilot who knows she belongs in the sky.
“Fly Away With Me”
My personal fave. It oozes retro travel poster charm and makes me want to pack a Pelican case and take off somewhere cinematic. I even turned this design into a custom drone landing pad with Premium Drone Supplies — and yes, it looks as cool IRL as it does on screen.

These printables and wallpapers are made to spark joy, fuel inspiration and show the world that drones aren’t just tools — they’re art, they’re science, they’re you.
Use them on your phone. Turn them into your own custom coffee mug. Use them to make your own custom drone landing pad (and use coupon code SALLYFRENCH) to save $5 at checkout if you do).
Here’s to full batteries, clear skies and desktops that fly,
