About This Game

Various types of animated wallpapers are supported, including 3D and 2D animations, websites, videos and even certain applications.

Wallpaper Engine aims to deliver an entertaining experience while using as few system resources as possible. You can choose to automatically pause or completely stop the wallpaper while using another application or playing fullscreen (including borderless windowed mode) to not distract or hinder you while playing a game or working. Many options to tweak quality and performance allow you to make Wallpaper Engine fit your computer perfectly. As a general rule of thumb, 3D, 2D and video based wallpapers will perform best, while websites and applications will require more resources from your system. Having a dedicated GPU is highly recommended, but not required.

Choose from over a million free wallpapers from the Steam Workshop with new wallpapers being uploaded every day! Can't find a wallpaper that fits your mood? Let your imagination go wild by using the Wallpaper Engine Editor to create your own animated wallpapers from images, videos, websites or applications. A large selection of presets and effects allow you to animate your own images and share them on the Steam Workshop or to just use them for yourself.

🌟A must-have customization tool for any PC user | 10/10 I've been using Wallpaper Engine for a while now, and I can confidently say it's one of the best purchases you can make on Steam, especially if you care about personalizing your PC. Whether you're into minimalistic aesthetics, gaming montages, anime loops or dynamic weather environments — there's something here for everyone. 🖼️Massive Libary & Community content The Steam Workshop integration is incredible. You get access to hundreds of thousands of wallpapers, many of which are insanely high quality — and free! The Community is super active, constantly uploading creative new content across all genres. It's like having a new PC every day without lifting a finger. ⚙️Lightweight & highly optimized Despite running animated wallpapers, Wallpaper Engine is extremely optimized. It automatically pauses when you're in game or using fullscreen apps, so it doesn't hurt performance at all. You can even control the resource ...

A LOT OF PORN and NSFW, there are filters to stop this, however a lot can get around it/ come through. Not enough management to block and stop from seeing such disgusting things. I uninstalled.

Needs more outer space wallpapers that aren't bright af, but love it nonetheless. Can be difficult to find one that can mesh perfectly w/ right monitor (one big picture instead of two separate), managed to find a few. Has almost any wallpaper one can possibly imagine. First thing that was ever in my steam library. Absolutely worth the four bucks. Buy it once, it's yours for life. No more saving images from google searches ever again.
