Everything you need for a living desktop

Lively Wallpaper packs powerful features into a lightweight, user-friendly application that gives you complete control over your animated desktop experience on Windows.

Video & GIF Wallpapers

Set any video file as your desktop wallpaper - MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, and MKV are all supported with hardware-accelerated playback using H.264, H.265, VP9, and AV1 codecs. Animated GIFs work too, looping seamlessly in the background. You can even paste a YouTube URL and Lively will stream it directly on your desktop with full audio support and playback controls.

Multi-Monitor Support

Lively offers three multi-monitor layout modes: Span stretches one wallpaper across all screens for a panoramic effect. Per Display lets you set unique wallpapers on each monitor independently. Grid mode provides the most control - independent wallpaper and audio settings per display, perfect for setups with 2, 3, or more monitors in any arrangement. Android TV x86 is a community-driven project that

Smart Pause for Gaming

When you launch a game or any fullscreen application, Lively automatically pauses all wallpaper playback so it uses zero CPU and GPU resources. Many gamers report absolutely no FPS impact even with demanding wallpapers running. You can configure per-display pause rules, global pause, or set specific applications to trigger the pause behavior in Settings. Boot from the USB and choose “Installation”

Web, HTML & Shader Wallpapers

Create interactive wallpapers using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - build visualizations that respond to mouse movement, audio input, time of day, or system information. GLSL shaders produce stunning GPU-accelerated visual effects with minimal CPU usage. Import shaders from Shadertoy or write your own. This is one of Lively's most powerful features for creative users.

Fully Customizable

Fine-tune every aspect of your wallpaper experience. Adjust playback quality, performance profiles, and rendering resolution. Set custom pause rules based on foreground app, fullscreen state, or battery status. Customize wallpaper properties like speed, saturation, brightness, blur, and more. Each wallpaper type has its own set of adjustable parameters for complete control.

Lively ZIP Sharing & Screen Saver

Package your wallpapers as .lively files or lively-zip archives and share them with the community. Import wallpapers from other users with a single click or drag-and-drop. Lively also integrates with Windows Screen Saver - set any live wallpaper as your screen saver so your desktop stays animated even when you're away from your PC.

Up and running in under a minute

No complex setup, no account required, no subscription needed. Just download, install, and pick a wallpaper. Lively handles everything else automatically - from system tray integration to startup configuration.

Supports every type of animated content

From simple video loops to complex interactive web applications, Lively Wallpaper handles every format you can think of.

Video Files

MP4, WebM, AVI, MOV, MKV - any video format works as a wallpaper. Hardware-accelerated decoding ensures smooth playback. Videos loop seamlessly and can include audio. Convert any short clip into a looping desktop wallpaper with a single click.

Animated GIFs

Drop any animated GIF onto Lively and it becomes your wallpaper. For longer animations, converting to MP4 provides better performance and smaller file sizes. Lively handles GIF playback efficiently with minimal resource usage.

Web Pages & URLs

Any website or web app can become a live wallpaper. Enter any URL - YouTube videos, Twitch streams, weather dashboards, news feeds, or custom web apps. Lively renders it on your desktop using Chromium WebView2 with full interactivity.

GLSL Shaders

GPU-accelerated shader wallpapers produce stunning procedural animations and generative art. Import shaders directly from Shadertoy or write custom GLSL code. Shader wallpapers are highly customizable with adjustable parameters for speed, color, complexity, and more.

HTML / CSS / JavaScript

Build fully interactive wallpapers using web technologies. Create clocks, weather widgets, audio visualizers, particle systems, or data dashboards that run on your desktop. HTML wallpapers can access system data, respond to cursor movement, and react to audio input.

Unity & Godot Games

Run game engine projects as wallpapers - Unity and Godot are both supported. Create 3D scenes, physics simulations, or interactive environments that run as your desktop background. Export your game project and import it into Lively as a wallpaper.
