About This Software

Desktop Engine: Rediscover Your Desktop

Desktop Engine is innovative software that transforms static backgrounds into a dynamic and interactive space by bringing 2D and 3D characters, chat boxes, avatar systems, and more to your desktop. Whether you're a streamer, a gamer, or just a user wanting to personalize your desktop; Desktop Engine offers a unique, lively, and fully controllable experience for you.

Animate your characters with viewer interactions during your streams, create immersive animated scenes in the background while gaming, or simply build your own unique world on your desktop. Desktop Engine combines advanced background capabilities with powerful character and interaction-focused tools.
