Using DesktopHut.com
Finding, downloading, and sharing wallpapers on the site itself.
01 · Overview
What DesktopHut is
DesktopHut is a library of free live wallpapers — video wallpapers, image wallpapers, and interactive/web wallpapers — organized by category, platform, and resolution, plus the home for DesktopHut Studio, the desktop app that plays and creates them.
Parcourir
Categories, tags, resolution, and platform filters help you find the right wallpaper fast.
Télécharger
Every wallpaper page has a direct download button — no account required to download.
Submit
Anyone can submit a wallpaper for review; it goes live once an admin approves it.

fonds d'écran 02 · Finding
Browsing & discovering
There's more than one way to land on a wallpaper you'll actually want.
- Categories. The homepage and nav list every category — Nature, Anime, Abstract, Gaming, and more. Each category page is itself filterable by resolution and platform.
- Search & tags. Use the search bar for a keyword, or click any tag on a wallpaper's page to see everything else sharing it.
- Editor's Choice. A hand-picked shelf of standout wallpapers, refreshed regularly — a good starting point if you're just browsing.
- Platform filter. Filter to only the platforms you actually use (Windows, Android, iOS/macOS) so you're not scrolling past wallpapers you can't use.
Tip. Every card shows a small resolution/type badge in its corner — 4K, 1080p, ou Interactive for live HTML wallpapers — so you can tell what you're getting before you click in.
03 · What you'll find
Wallpaper types
DesktopHut hosts a few different kinds of wallpaper, and it's worth knowing which is which before you download.
| Type | What it is | Plays with |
|---|---|---|
| Vidéo | A looping video file (usually MP4) | Any video wallpaper app, including DesktopHut Studio |
| Image | A single high-resolution static image | Your OS's normal wallpaper setting |
| Interactive / Web | Un package de fond d'écran HTML/JS (le badge indique WEB) ou une scène .dh | DesktopHut Studio |
Les fonds d'écran interactifs et .dh sont ceux qui offrent un vrai mouvement et de vrais effets ; consultez la Wallpaper Library ci-dessous pour savoir comment ils sont lus.
04 · Downloading
Downloading a wallpaper
- Open the wallpaper's page. Click into any card from a listing or search result.
- Check the type badge. It tells you whether you're getting a video, image, or interactive package before you download anything.
- Click Download. The file downloads directly — no account or sign-in needed.
- Set it. Video and interactive wallpapers need DesktopHut Studio (or another wallpaper player) to actually run as your desktop background; images can be set through your OS's normal wallpaper picker.
05 · Contributing
Submitting a wallpaper
Made or found something worth sharing? Anyone can submit a wallpaper — no account required.
- Open the submission form. Linked from the site's footer/nav as "Submit a Wallpaper."
- Fill in the details. A title, a short description, and the category it belongs in — accurate tags help people actually find it later.
- Upload the file. Video, image, or interactive package.
- Wait for review. Submissions are checked by an admin before they go live — this usually doesn't take long, but isn't instant.
Remarque. Les envois sont limités en fréquence pour éviter que la file d'attente ne soit saturée de spam. Si le vôtre ne semble pas passer, patientez un peu avant de réessayer.

DesktopHut Studio
L'application de bureau : lire des fonds d'écran et créer les vôtres. Consultez aussi la page de l'application et les téléchargements.
01 · Overview
What the app does
DesktopHut Studio réunit deux fonctions en une seule application : la Wallpaper Library lit vos fonds d'écran comme véritable arrière-plan de votre bureau Windows, et le Motion Photo Editor vous permet de transformer n'importe quelle photo en un nouveau fond animé.
02 · Setup
Getting started
- Install the app. Pick Microsoft Store, portable, or MSI from the download page.
- Open the Library. It's empty at first — drag in a downloaded wallpaper file, or download one directly from DesktopHut.com.
- Apply it. Select a wallpaper and click Apply — it becomes your live desktop background immediately.
fonds d'écran 03 · Playing
The Wallpaper Library
La bibliothèque lit quatre types de fonds d'écran dans une seule grille : vidéo, packages HTML, scènes .dh et URL en ligne (par exemple un lien YouTube).
Adjusting a wallpaper live
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Fit | Fill, fit, stretch, or center across your display(s) |
| Brightness / Contrast / Saturation | Live color adjustment, no re-export |
| Hue | Shift the wallpaper's overall color |
| Playback rate | Slow down or speed up a video/scene |
| Mute audio | Silence any wallpaper that carries sound |
Multi-monitor & span mode
Lancez un fond d'écran différent par moniteur, ou étalez une scène en un seul canevas continu sur tous vos écrans. La démo de la page de l'application montre à quoi ressemble l'étalement.
Performance
Low Resource Mode, adjustable quality tiers, hardware decoding, an FPS limit, and automatic pausing (fullscreen games, screen lock, and more) keep a wallpaper from getting in the way of everything else you're doing. A live CPU/RAM readout sits right on each wallpaper's card.
Custom scene controls
Certaines scènes .dh embarquent leurs propres commandes à l'écran (curseurs, interrupteurs, sélecteurs de couleur) définies par la scène elle-même : elles s'affichent directement dans le panneau de détails de la bibliothèque.
fonds d'écran 04 · Making
The Motion Photo Editor
Import a photo, paint motion onto part of it, and export a new living wallpaper.
Layers
A scene is built from layers — the base image, an optional bone rig (for character movement), GIF/text/solid-color layers, and particle assets.
65 motion presets, 8 categories
Mouvement et déplacement, eau, lumière et couleur, météo et particules en masque, styles et particules, verre et lentille, flou et mise au point, et post-traitement. Une exception notable : Cloth Sway n'est pas du tout un préréglage de shader, mais une véritable simulation physique par intégration de Verlet, utilisée pour les cheveux, les capes et les rideaux.
Masks & parameters
Paint a soft-edged mask to control exactly where an effect applies, then fine-tune its parameters — and optionally keyframe them so the effect itself changes over time.
Exporting
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| MP4 / GIF / WebP | Sharing a clip, or using it outside DesktopHut Studio entirely |
| HTML live wallpaper | A lightweight interactive package |
Package .dh | The native format — full effects, layers, and any custom scene controls |

02 · Troubleshooting
FAQ & troubleshooting
Installation
Windows m'avertit qu'une application n'est pas reconnue (SmartScreen).
This is normal for smaller independent apps that haven't yet built up SmartScreen reputation. Click "More info" then "Run anyway" if you trust the source you downloaded from (the DesktopHut download page or Microsoft Store).
Mon antivirus a signalé ou mis en quarantaine une partie de l'application.
The video-playback component can occasionally trigger a false positive on some antivirus engines. Restore it from quarantine and add an exception if your antivirus lets you review what was flagged.
J'obtiens une erreur « .NET Framework » lors de l'installation.
Install the latest .NET Desktop Runtime from Microsoft, then re-run the DesktopHut Studio installer.
Fonctionne-t-il sous Windows 7 ou 8 ?
No — DesktopHut Studio requires Windows 10 or 11.
Display
Mon écran devient noir sur un ordinateur portable équipé de deux GPU.
This is usually a dual-GPU (integrated + dedicated) driver conflict. In your GPU control panel, set DesktopHut Studio to always use the integrated GPU, then restart the app.
Les effets visuels s'affichent mal, ou Windows est en mode Contraste élevé.
High Contrast mode overrides how Windows renders transparency and layered windows, which can distort a live wallpaper. Turn it off in Windows' Accessibility settings if you don't need it.
My wallpaper conflicts with Rainmeter (or a similar desktop tool).
Both apps compete for desktop-level rendering — try setting Rainmeter's skins to "on top" instead of "on desktop," or run DesktopHut Studio without Rainmeter to confirm the conflict before adjusting settings further.
Un fond d'écran vidéo étalé affiche des bandes noires.
This usually means the monitors' resolutions or aspect ratios don't match cleanly for spanning — try per-monitor wallpapers instead, or a scene built specifically for your layout.
Performance
L'application utilise trop de CPU ou de RAM.
Turn on Low Resource Mode, lower the quality tier, cap the FPS limit, and enable hardware decoding if it isn't already on. The live CPU/RAM readout on each wallpaper's card helps you spot which one is heaviest.
Mon fond d'écran ne se rétablit pas après la mise en veille ou un redémarrage de l'Explorateur.
Re-apply the wallpaper from the Library — DesktopHut Studio re-attaches automatically in most cases, but a restart of Windows Explorer can occasionally require a manual re-apply.
General
My monitor got disconnected and reconnected — what happens to my wallpaper?
DesktopHut Studio remembers your per-monitor assignments and re-applies them automatically once the monitor is back.
Can I hide my desktop icons while a wallpaper plays?
Yes — there's a toggle for this in the app's display settings.
Is macOS support the same app?
Non : macOS est pris en charge par Wallspace, conçu et maintenu par notre partenaire de collaboration, et non par DesktopHut Studio lui-même. Consultez la page de l'application pour les deux liens de téléchargement.
