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.Recommended system requirements

User reviews
Endless animated wallpapers specially if you are into anime, came here for Blue Archive but you can find much more as well as create and share your own.
got it for free from my friend! thanks lol Not a heavy load software i guess, even on my low spec laptop still works fine
Pros: - Low impact on battery life - Low CPU and GPU use Cons: - post launch and post restart lost connection to steam workshop
the best wallpaper app out there. I constantly get asked where my wallpapers are from
cool wallpapers and big variety overall a 9/10 it can sometimes be slow to open
Love making wallpapers, especially the audio-responsive ones. 5 stars
