Set your live wallpaper
step by step

1. Get the animation onto your phone

1. Buy or own the wallpaper, then tap Download.
2. When the setup guide appears, tap "Save animation to Photos" — this sends the video straight to your phone's Photos or Gallery app via the share sheet. Choose Save Video (iPhone) or Save to Gallery (Android).
3. Don't see that button? Your browser doesn't support the share sheet — download the video file instead, then use your device's Files app to move it to Photos.
4. You can also convert any video — including the animation — into a phone-ready loop with the Live Wallpaper Converter.

2. iPhone & iPad

1. Open the Live Wallpaper Converter, pick the saved video from your library, and tap Save to Photos. The converter trims it to a loop iOS accepts as a Live Photo.
2. Open the Photos app and find the converted clip.
3. Tap Share, then choose "Use as Wallpaper" (iOS 17+).
4. On the preview screen, tap Add, then choose Lock Screen, Home Screen, or both.
5. Keep Live Photo enabled — press and hold the lock screen and it animates.

iOS note: Apple only animates the lock screen. The home screen will show the included 4K still. Older iPhones (SE, and models without Live Photo support) show static wallpapers only.

3. Android

1. Save the converted loop to your Gallery from the converter page.
2. Long-press an empty spot on your home screen and tap Wallpapers.
3. Pick your gallery or wallpapers app, then choose the video clip. On many phones (Samsung, Pixel, OnePlus) you can set it directly.
4. Choose Home screen, Lock screen, or both when prompted.
5. If your phone's wallpaper picker only shows still images, install a free video wallpaper app from the Play Store, pick the clip from your Gallery, and set it from there.

Android note: live wallpaper support depends on your launcher. Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and most major brands support video wallpapers natively; some lightweight launchers do not.

4. Desktop & tablets

• Windows: use the included 4K still as a normal wallpaper, or a free tool like Lively Wallpaper to run the video loop.
• Mac: set the 4K still via System Settings → Wallpaper, or keep the video in a looping player.
• iPad: set the 4K still via Settings → Wallpaper; iPadOS shows static wallpapers only.

Troubleshooting

• "Live Photo" option is greyed out: run the clip through the Live Wallpaper Converter first, then save it to Photos.
• The wallpaper animates once then stops: re-convert with the Live Wallpaper Converter — it produces a seamless loop.
• Video won't upload to the converter: try Chrome or Safari, and keep the clip under 30 seconds.
• Battery life: live wallpapers use a little more power — iOS only animates while the lock screen is visible, and Android launchers pause the video for full-screen apps.
