Tons of awesome wallpapers GIF to download for free. You can also upload and share your favorite wallpapers GIF. HD wallpapers and background images.
You may have seen web pages with video backgrounds but did you know that it is also possible to use videos and animated GIF images as backgrounds for your Mac desktop.

Animated GIFs as Mac Background
It takes a few easy steps to inject some life in your Mac background.
Step 1. Download a GIF image. You can use Giphy for readymade GIFs, or create your own cinemagraphs with Photoshop or, if you are trying to use a video, convert to GIF using FFMpeg.
- An idea I had for making gif wallpapers.
- I realized that after the Mac update to 'Big Sur,' that it no longer will allow you to open the file named 'GifPaperAgent.' Which pretty much runs the entire thing. It can download and use the 'preferences' page but it doesn't allow you to download the other like i said and says 'We cannot identify the creator.'
Step 2. Download the GIFPaper app from Dropbox (link found via Reddit) and extract the content to a local folder. Vpn el capitan.

Step 3. Double-click the GIFPaperPrefs.prefPane file inside the extracted folder to install the preferences pane. Go to your Mac’s System Preferences and double-click GIFPaperPref to launch the actual app.
Step 4. Browse the computer, locate the GIF, set the Scaling to “Axes Independently” and the GIF will be set as the background of your Mac desktop. If you have a multiple virtual desktops, only the current screen will be changed.
You can place add GIFPaperAgent to your Mac login items to preserve your wallpaper preferences. Also, it might not be a good idea to use animated on older Macs since it does consume system resources.
I meant to do this post awhile ago, but forgot. This tweet of an animated wallpaper reminded me.

Stunning isn’t it. You could download GifPaper and set a gif as your wallpaper, it adds a settings panel to your system settings and lets you choose a gif. Pretty sweet, but it’s horrible. After a few minutes your Mac will probably catch on fire. Just kidding, but it does each up your cpu quick, too quick to be worth it!
So here is another trick. MP4! Yes convert that gif to MP4 then use the app Uebersicht and my script to display the MP4.
Install Uebersicht.
