BioniX Wallpaper is the most feature-rich wallpaper changer for Windows. Live video backgrounds, GIF wallpapers, slideshows, photo collages, animated desktop effects, day/night switching, multi-monitor support, and more than 100 other features — all in one lightweight app.
Each mode transforms your desktop in a different way. Mix and match across multiple monitors.
Automatically cycle through your image collection with smooth transitions. Set intervals from seconds to hours. The Ken Burns effect adds cinematic pan-and-zoom to static photos, making every image feel alive.
Play video files (AVI, MP4, MKV, MOV, WMV, MPEG and more), animated GIFs, and animated WebP images directly on your desktop. Your monitor becomes a living canvas — no browser or game engine required.
Need a longer loop than a GIF can hold? Put the frames in a folder named BXAnimate_<name> and add the folder to your playlist. BioniX plays the images as a looping movie. You choose the delay between frames, and pendulum mode plays them forwards, then backwards.
Scatter your photos across the desktop in a natural, overlapping pile. Customize spacing, borders, and layout. Like pinning your favorite memories to a real desk.
Matrix digital rain, snow falling on your wallpaper, raindrops, falling leaves — animated particle effects that bring your desktop to life with seasonal or atmospheric vibes.
BioniX manages your image collection with the precision of a music player.
Drop images and entire folders into the playlist. BioniX scans sub-folders recursively and picks up all supported formats.
Jump to an image by typing part of its name or path. Find the one you want in a collection of thousands.
Sort by name, path, file size, width, height, or your own order. Arrange your wallpapers the way you want them.
Point BioniX at any folder and it watches for new images. Drop a file in, it joins the rotation instantly. Delete one, it disappears from the playlist.
Download all images from a web page in one go. Build your wallpaper collection without leaving BioniX.
Play wallpapers in random order or one after another. Turn on “Play each image once” and no image repeats until all were shown.
The name and resolution of each wallpaper under its thumbnail; the file size in the wallpaper's properties.
Thumbnail view — preview every wallpaper directly in the playlist.
Detail view — one wallpaper per row, with its path and resolution.
