Wallpaper Engine is a powerful wallpaper creator that allows you to create your own wallpapers or customize the thousands of available images in their database. This program allows you to do everything from making live wallpaper, visualize music, turn your desktop into a game and much more. You can either make a wallpaper from scratch or apply your personal touch to their database of images and videos.

Generating Wallpapers

Whether you're a graphic designer or just like your computer being personalized, being able to make your own wallpaper gives you a lot of freedom. While you can always use another graphic design program to make flat images, Wallpaper Engine allows you to build live wallpapers that move, 3D objects, games you can interact with and much more. Not only that, but these wallpapers are designed so they don't hog resources or make games slow down.

Even if you don't have an eye for design, there are tons of filters and images that allow you to make a personalized wallpaper within minutes. Within a few clicks you'll have a special wallpaper that will make your computer look that much better.

Incredibly Stable

Some programs like this can crash over and over again. Wallpaper Engine, despite its many features and tools, is remarkably stable. While there's no 100 percent guarantee that it will never crash, it's a very unlikely event. You should have no problem spending hours on your wallpaper without the program crashing.

Highly Responsive

Lags are rare with this software. Even when you're working on more intensive live wallpapers, the program will keep up with you and easily accommodate your changes. For example, you can change colors or add filters without the wallpaper skipping a beat. This makes it much easier to customize the wallpaper without having an annoying lag ruin everything.

Multiple File Outputs

Wallpaper Engine allows you to export your wallpaper as over a dozen different file types. There's PNG, JPEG, GIF, MP4, AVI and more. This makes it easy to choose the exact file type you want, and it also makes it easier to share the wallpaper with friends and other people.

Learning Curve

This program is built for amateurs and professionals alike, but getting used to the advanced tools will take some time. If you just want to take an image or video from their database, change colors and add some filters, then Wallpaper Engine is easy to use. If you're looking to build a wallpaper from scratch or add advanced features, then there is a steep learning curve.

This has become a popular program and there is a large user base. You should be able to find help if you need it, but expect to spend hours learning how the advanced tools work.
