As a general rule of thumb, 3D, 2D and video based wallpapers will perform best, while websites and applications will require more resources from your system. Many options to tweak quality and performance allow you to make Wallpaper Engine fit your computer perfectly. You can choose to automatically pause or completely stop the wallpaper while using another application or playing fullscreen (including borderless windowed mode) to not distract or hinder you while playing a game or working.

Wallpaper Engine aims to deliver an entertaining experience while using as few system resources as possible.
