Webshots Desktop

Webshots Desktop is a simple program that brings professional photos from the Webshots library to your desktop background and screensaver.

You can browse the library by category, such as Architecture, Beaches, Islands, Landmarks, Mountains, National Parks, Waterfalls, Animals or Space, or use the search button to find pictures on a theme. You will be able to go through all of the results and add your favorite images to playlists. Webshots Desktop then rotates the pictures automatically: the wallpaper can change hourly, daily, at startup or in random order, and the same photos can run as a screensaver. Each photo in the gallery has small buttons to set it as wallpaper, mark it as a favorite or add it to a playlist, and the Show mode plays the selected photos full screen as a slideshow. Once you're satisfied with a picture, it takes just a few clicks to make it your background. The photos come in HD and 4K resolution and look good on large displays.

If you have a Webshots account, you can curate custom playlists on the webshots.com website, and the app syncs them to your local drive for desktop rotation. Playlists require signing in to your account.

Additionally, Webshots adds two new photos to its library of more than 5,000 images every day, so the rotation keeps getting fresh pictures. An optional desktop calendar can also be shown on top of the wallpaper.

Webshots started in 1995 as a sports screensaver. It is now run by Threefold Photos, Inc., which acquired the service in 2012 and relaunched it in 2013 as a wallpaper and screensaver app for Windows and macOS. The app can be tried for free, and a Premium subscription unlocks the full photo library.

Webshots Desktop keeps your desktop fresh by rotating wallpapers and screensaver photos from a curated library of HD and 4K pictures.
