Live wallpaper questions, answered

What is a live wallpaper?
A live wallpaper is an animated background: a short, seamlessly looping video that plays behind your icons or on your lock screen instead of a still image. Every wallpaper on Wallpapers Universe can be previewed in motion before you download it.
Are the wallpapers free to download?
Yes. Downloads are free with a free account, and there is no watermark. Free accounts can download up to 10 wallpapers per day; a premium plan removes the limit and the ads.
How do I set a live wallpaper on Android?
Download the wallpaper (an MP4 video) to your phone. On Samsung Galaxy phones, open the video in Gallery, tap the three-dot menu and choose Set as wallpaper, then Lock screen. On other phones, or to use a video on the home screen, install a video live wallpaper app from Google Play, pick the downloaded MP4 in the app and tap Set wallpaper.
How do I set a live wallpaper on iPhone?
iPhone cannot use an MP4 video as a wallpaper directly, so first convert it to a Live Photo with a converter app from the App Store (for example intoLive). Then open Settings, Wallpaper, Add New Wallpaper, Photos, choose the Live Photo and make sure Live Photo is turned on before you tap Add. On iOS 17 and later the Live Photo animates on the lock screen when you wake your iPhone.
How do I use a live wallpaper on Windows?
Windows has no built-in video wallpaper setting, so you need a wallpaper app. Lively Wallpaper is free and open source on the Microsoft Store; Wallpaper Engine is a paid alternative on Steam. Install one, add the downloaded MP4 file, and set it as your desktop wallpaper. Both apps can pause playback while a full-screen game or app is running.
Can I use a live wallpaper on a Mac?
macOS does not support video files as a desktop wallpaper natively. Install a live wallpaper app from the Mac App Store that accepts MP4 files, add the downloaded video and set it as your desktop background.
Do live wallpapers drain the battery?
They use more power than a still image because the video is decoded while it is on screen, but on modern phones and computers the difference is usually small. To save battery, choose the lower-resolution version for your device and let your wallpaper app pause playback on battery power or when a full-screen app is open.
Which resolution should I download?
Match your screen. Choose 3840 x 2160 (4K) for 4K monitors and 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) for most laptops and 1080p displays. Phone wallpapers are portrait; pick the version that matches or exceeds your phone's screen resolution.
Can I use these wallpapers commercially?
No. Wallpapers are provided for personal use as device backgrounds. Many feature characters and artwork owned by their respective rights holders, so they must not be resold or used in commercial projects. Rights holders can request removal through the contact page.
