iWallpaper

Live Wallpaper

iWallpaper gives you animated Mac desktop backgrounds, with separate settings for each monitor. It suits you if you want live wallpapers on one screen or a multi-monitor setup.

What you get

You get a moving desktop background tailored to each screen.

With iWallpaper, you can replace your static desktop background with a live wallpaper and choose a different setup for each monitor. You can preview how wallpapers fit standard, portrait, ultrawide, and super-ultrawide screens before settling on a layout. If you unplug an external display, its wallpaper stays assigned to it rather than moving onto another screen.

You can browse popular wallpapers, check recent additions, or filter by category to find something you like. New wallpapers are added daily, and you can save favorites or submit wallpapers for others to use.

You also get ways to limit animation when it isn't useful. Wallpapers become static when hidden, and you can use static backgrounds while running on battery or in low-power mode. That lets you keep motion on your desktop without requiring it to run continuously.

  • Different backgrounds per screen

    You can give each monitor its own wallpaper settings without backgrounds shifting screens when you disconnect a display.

  • Check the fit first

    You can preview wallpaper proportions and orientation for portrait, standard, and ultrawide displays.

  • Find fresh backgrounds

    You can explore daily additions, browse popular choices, and filter categories instead of searching through everything.

  • Pause unnecessary motion

    You get static wallpapers when backgrounds are hidden, with additional static options for battery power and low-power mode.

Best for

  • You want animated desktop backgrounds
  • You use multiple monitors with different proportions
  • You like changing wallpapers regularly

Skip it if

You don't need it if you're happy with a static desktop background and don't want a separate wallpaper collection.
