About This Software

LiveWall for Mac lets you import your Wallpaper Engine wallpapers and run them on macOS. Bring animated, interactive, audio-reactive, and video wallpapers to your desktop, including web and Scene wallpapers.

Customize how your wallpapers look, manage large libraries, and fine-tune performance for each display.

Import your Wallpaper Engine wallpapers

Import your existing wallpaper collection into LiveWall. It supports several Wallpaper Engine wallpaper types, including web wallpapers, videos, preset-based wallpapers, and Scene wallpapers.

• Scene wallpapers — Layered images, animated effects, particles, clocks, text, scripts, sounds, animated characters, and 3D scenes with cameras.

• Web wallpapers — Run HTML, CSS, and JavaScript wallpapers, with mouse and click interaction.

• Video wallpapers — Play looping MP4, MOV, and M4V videos with adjustable volume and scaling.

• Image wallpapers — Display PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP images.

Some Wallpaper Engine scenes rely on built-in effects and resources from Wallpaper Engine's own files on your Mac. Compatibility varies by scene, and some effects may not be available in every setup.

Make your desktop your own

• Interactive wallpapers — Move your cursor through scenes with parallax effects, or interact with supported web wallpapers.

• Audio-reactive wallpapers — Let supported wallpapers visualize your Mac's system audio in real time.

• Custom wallpaper settings — Adjust each wallpaper's sliders, switches, colors, dropdowns, and other available properties. Save and recall named profiles.

• Favorites and collections — Organize your library, create collections, and find wallpapers with filtering and sorting.

• Multiple displays — Run your wallpaper on every connected display.

Performance you can tune

LiveWall gives you control over the balance between visual quality and resource usage, especially with demanding animated and 3D scenes.

• Scene texture controls — Match texture sizes to your display or retain full-size scene textures.

• Reduced resource usage — Optimized scene rendering and memory management help demanding wallpapers run more efficiently.

• Optional shared rendering — Draw a wallpaper once for all your displays to cut duplicated rendering work.
