How to make wallpapers in Wallpaper Engine

With Wallpaper Engine open, click on the two pencils icon titled “Wallpaper Editor” to create a new wallpaper. At this point, simply drag your image file over “Create Wallpaper” to get started. Next, choose a project name and color scheme, and click “OK”.

Once your image has been uploaded, you will be presented with the editor window. When you add any effects they will appear in the assets tab on the left.

To add an effect, click the “+ Add” button on the right. A pop-up menu will appear on your screen, with all your current downloaded effects.

There are a bunch of effects to choose from here. You even have the option to download any additional effects from Wallpaper Engine Workshop.

Select an effect you would like to use and click “OK”. To apply an effect to only particular areas of your image, you can apply the Opacity Mask feature.

Wallpaper Engine has published a bunch of guides talking you through how to use each feature and effect. You can find these guides in their Designer Documentation.

Once you are happy with your wallpaper, the time has come to apply it. You also have the option to upload it to Wallpaper Engine Workshop – only if you want to, of course.

To use your wallpaper, head to the “File” tab and click “Apply Wallpaper” to make it your current background.

To publish, still in the editor window, head up to the “Workshop” tab and select “Prepare for publishing”.

A new window will now appear with a publishing form. Simply, fill in the details about your wallpaper. After this is completed, press “Publish” – and you’re done.

To kick things off, launch Wallpaper Engine from your Steam library. Press the pencil icon to create a new wallpaper.

In the pop-up window drag your Gif or MP4 file over the blue “Create Wallpaper” button. Next, choose a project name and scheme color then click “OK”.

You can now customize your wallpaper – if you wish to do so. There are a bunch of options here. To add an effect click the “+ Add” button and browse the list of current effects on your PC.

A useful one you may be interested in, is adding a clock to your wallpaper. The clock can be found under “Text Layer” in the “Add Assets” section.

Again, if you would like to read a guide walking you through each effect, head to Wallpaper Engine’s Designer Documentation.

Once you are happy, head to “File” and click “Save”.
