Wallpaper Engine

Live wallpapers for Android

Wallpaper Engine is a personalization app for setting animated backgrounds on an Android phone or tablet. It supports video wallpapers, GIFs, and interactive 2D or 3D scenes, so it suits users who want more than a static image on their home or lock screen.

Bring over a desktop collection

The app can connect to Wallpaper Engine on Windows and transfer wallpapers from an existing desktop library to the Android app. That makes it most useful for people who already use Wallpaper Engine on a PC and want to carry selected backgrounds across to their mobile device.

Local media and playback controls

You can also use local videos and GIFs as wallpapers. Appearance settings provide some control over how a wallpaper looks, while playlists can rotate backgrounds at set intervals or change them according to the time of day. Wallpapers pause when the phone enters power-saving mode, helping avoid unnecessary playback when battery use is being restricted.
