Live Wallpapers for Windows

Your desktop, in motion

Live Wallpapers replaces the static bitmap behind your icons with something that moves: a looping
video, an animated GIF, or an interactive HTML scene. Icons, drag-select and right-click all keep
working exactly as before, because the wallpaper is rendered behind the desktop rather than on top
of it.

Bring your own media

Point the app at any MP4, WebM, MOV or GIF file and it becomes a wallpaper. Anything you can build
with HTML, CSS and JavaScript works too, which means shader-style animations, clocks and audio
visualisers are all fair game. Files stay on your machine; nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Per-monitor and playlists

Assign a different wallpaper to every display, or stretch one scene across all of them. Group your
favourites into a playlist and let it rotate on a timer, on wake, or every time you log in.

Battery and performance first

This is where most live wallpaper apps fall apart. Ours pauses rendering automatically when a
full-screen app or game is in the foreground, when the desktop is fully covered, when you switch to
battery power, or when your device goes idle. You can also cap the frame rate and choose whether to
mute audio.

Getting started

1. Download and extract the ZIP.
2. Launch the app and drag a video file onto the library.
3. Pick which monitor it belongs to and click Apply.
4. Open the Performance tab and confirm the pause rules match how you use your PC.
