Video, web and application wallpapers are created by simply importing your files into the editor and pushing them to Workshop as a wallpaper. Using the Wallpaper Editor, you can create 3D and 2D wallpapers by importing pictures or 3D models and textures. The Steam Workshop integration will allow you to share your own wallpapers with the Steam community. Having a dedicated GPU is highly recommended, but not required. 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. Various options to tweak quality and performance exist to make Wallpaper Engine suit your needs. To not distract or hinder you while playing a game or working, you can choose to automatically pause or completely stop the wallpaper while using another application or playing fullscreen (including borderless windowed mode). Wallpaper Engine aims to deliver an entertaining experience while using as few system resources as possible. Supported video formats: mp4, WebM (Workshop) mp4, WebM, avi, m4v, mov, wmv (local files).

Wallpaper Engine can be used in parallel to any other Steam game or application.
