# 4KWALL — Wallpaper Manager & Auto Wallpaper Changer for Linux and Windows

**4KWALL is a desktop wallpaper app for Linux and Windows.** Browse and search millions of HD, 4K and 8K wallpapers, set them with one click, rotate them automatically on a timer, and run a different wallpaper on every monitor — all from a native app instead of a browser full of download traps.

## ❓ FAQ

### Is 4KWALL free?

4KWALL is free to download and use. A one-time Pro upgrade unlocks the full feature set — there is no subscription. See [plans and pricing](https://warlordsoftwares.com/apps/plans-and-pricing/).

### Does 4KWALL work on GNOME and KDE Plasma?

Yes. It sets wallpapers on GNOME, KDE Plasma, XFCE, Cinnamon, MATE, Budgie and LXQt, plus Windows 10 and 11.

### Can it change my wallpaper automatically?

Yes. Pick a collection and an interval and 4KWALL rotates your wallpaper on schedule, resuming automatically after you log in.

### Does it support multiple monitors?

Yes — you can set a different wallpaper on each connected display, including mixed-resolution and ultrawide setups.

### Are the wallpapers full resolution?

Yes. Downloads are the original full-resolution files, up to 8K.

### Does it work on ultrawide monitors?

Yes. Filter by 21:9 or 32:9 aspect ratio to find wallpapers that fit without stretching or cropping.

### Is 4KWALL a Wallpaper Engine alternative?

Partly. Wallpaper Engine specialises in animated and interactive wallpapers; 4KWALL focuses on high-resolution still wallpapers with search, collections, auto-rotation and multi-monitor support — and it runs natively on Linux.

### Is 4KWALL open source?

No. 4KWALL is a proprietary desktop application. This repository hosts the releases, packaging metadata, issue tracker and documentation rather than the application source.

## ⚖️ How 4KWALL compares to other wallpaper apps

- **Wallpaper sites in a browser** (Wallhaven, Unsplash, Pexels) — great libraries, but you are stuck downloading, saving and setting each image by hand. 4KWALL does all three in one click and adds rotation.
- **Variety (Linux)** — free and scriptable, but dated and awkward to browse. 4KWALL gives you a modern searchable gallery with colour filters and per-monitor control.
- **Bing Wallpaper / Windows Spotlight** — one image a day, no choice. 4KWALL lets you pick the source and the schedule.
- **Wallpaper Engine** — the leader for animated wallpapers, Windows-only and Steam-bound. 4KWALL is the still-image counterpart that also runs on Linux.
