Wallpaper Engine
Use stunning live wallpapers on your Windows desktop.
Wallpaper Engine is a Windows application for using live and dynamic wallpapers on the desktop. It lets users animate their own images, import videos and websites as wallpapers, and share creations with others. The software is designed to pause automatically when games or maximized apps are running, with performance options and rules tied to specific applications.
It supports monitor resolutions and aspect ratios including ultra-wide and multi-monitor setups, playlists and slideshows triggered by time, login or application launch, and LED control through Corsair iCUE and Razer Chroma. The built-in editor includes ready-to-use assets, user customization of wallpaper parts, SceneScript for custom logic, and a particle systems editor. A free Android companion app transfers wallpapers to phones and tablets with playlists and power settings.
Wallpapers are available through the Steam Workshop and are free to use; Steam is needed only for downloading, uploading and updates. The software is sold as a one-time purchase with no recurring fees, and can be installed on multiple computers.
