How to Put Animated Wallpapers on Any PC (Easy Guide) 😺
Hello beautiful people! 👋 Yosh here. Want animated or video wallpapers on your Windows PC—moving water, rain, anime, or your own clips? You're in the right place. The easiest way is Wallpaper Engine on Steam: tons of free wallpapers and support for your own videos. Nando is napping nearby but would approve. 😺
Get Wallpaper Engine and Install It
Wallpaper Engine is on Steam—search for it, buy it, and install like any other game. Once it's installed, open it from your library or from the Steam client. The app opens to a list of wallpapers; you can browse the Workshop (thousands of community wallpapers) or add your own files.
Use Workshop Wallpapers or Your Own Videos
In Wallpaper Engine you can:
- Browse the Workshop – Search by keyword (e.g. "anime", "rain", "game"). Pick one and click Subscribe; it appears in your list. Click it to set it as your wallpaper.
- Use your own video or GIF – Click "Open" or "Add wallpaper" and choose a video or image file from your PC. Shorter clips (e.g. under a few minutes) work best and use less resources.
Many wallpapers have options: you can turn sound on or off, pause the animation, or choose performance (e.g. lower quality when another app is fullscreen). In settings you can also enable a transparent taskbar or double‑click to hide desktop icons if you like a clean look.
That's It 😺
So: install Wallpaper Engine from Steam, browse the Workshop or add your own videos, and tweak sound and performance in settings. For more PC tips and tutorials, check our Tutorials and PC Tools. Have an awesome day—see you next time! MIAU. ✌
