Note: This app only works on Chrome OS!
Also don't use the ordinary wallpaper app when using the Wallpaper Manager.
The default Chrome OS wallpaper app sucks. You know that, I know that, everyone knows that. But you just accept the fact. You accept the fate, and you don't do anything against it.
Now's the time to change. Refuse to accept your fate. Remember all those times when you were talking to your friend who has a Windows computer, and they kept on bragging about how their wallpaper changed every 5 minutes. Were you not frustrated? Were you not angry, that no such app existed on the Web Store? It's not just you who felt like that. We need more. The current one is not sufficient. We need more customization.
With Wallpaper Manager for Chrome OS, you can now set solid colors as your wallpaper, cycle through a folder in your Drive, or download them from preset feeds! You can customize all aspects of your wallpaper;now THAT is customization!
This app will be 200% better than the current Chrome OS wallpaper app. I can guarantee you that. You can safely show it off to your friends, so that you get popular, and I get more users. A win-win situation.

- (2022-03-30) Donald E. Smith: Tries to change wallpaper from an online source before WiFi is re-established on a wake-up generating a Service Unavailable error. And shut my mouth... if you uncheck the last option "Show placeholder wallpapers when something goes wrong (otherwise keep the previous wallpaper until next cycle) problem solved. Sorry!
- (2021-12-14) Lakshmi Subramanian: Great app! Fills the void for features that ChromeOS doesn't provide (like center, cropped, tile etc). Ability to choose from other sources and setting up a frequency is a wonderful bonus!! Thank you!
- (2021-11-10) Austin Another: THIS APP ROCKS! the one and only wallpaper app for the chromebook. It was broken for a few days but the dev fixed it pretty fast. I highly recommend.
- (2021-07-21) Tea Comfort: Since google ended the ability to do a slideshow offline I've been looking for a slideshow app I can use offline. Was excited about this one till I looked at the settings and the shortest amount of time allowed between slides is ONE MINUTE, I don't call that a slide show. Downloaded and uninstalled in the time it took for two slides to show. ; )
- (2021-02-15) Connor Douglas: As with others; I was skepticle of downloading this application. Also like others though, it works like a charm! I had an issue at first getting it to 'start my wallpaper rotation' but after booting and closing the app a time or two, it started successfully. Note it also gives me a 'debug, grabbing new image' notificaiton each time the background switches, so I've blocked all notifications from the app. 8/10, works as expected (after restarting it a few times at first). recommended!
- (2021-01-18) Calum Urquhart: i was fairly skeptical downloading this relatively unused app but it works perfectly and does exactly what i want it too. seems stupid chrome haven't done this themselves.
- (2020-07-18) Joseph Bradley: Great app, but is there a way you can add a function that adds a black border to the wallpaper so it fits the screen? An example would be a picture that is too tall and too big for any of the default options to work. Stretch makes it too stretched; 'center', you can't see the top or bottom; center cropped, same thing as center; And with tile, it's just too big. I don't know how to program, so I don't know how hard it would be, but I'd be glad if you could add this.
- (2020-01-11) Nathan Trinh: Like many others here, it the slideshow option does not work properly unless you use Debug Mode. Even so, it somewhat lags the Chromebook whenever it changes images. There is a lack of customization. There's no option for any special transitional effects, especially the fading one featured on Windows OS.
- (2019-10-24) Tyme LaDow: Has worked pretty well and consistently for the last year or so that I've had a chromebook. Only problems I've found have been that when I restart the computer, I start getting the debug notification messages and have to go re-enable and then re-disable debug mode to make them stop. Also, sometimes it notifies me that there was an issue changing backgrounds, but doesn't give a reason why or tell me which image in the folder it is having an issue changing to, so I can't tell if it's just a temporary issue, or if one image has a specific issue that this can't deal with for whatever reason. Wish I got a little more info on the problem to troubleshoot a little more myself or remove corrupted images. (Also, why does this upload the images to google drive continually? it deletes and overwrites the 'old' version of each image, so my drive isn't getting overrun, but if the images are saved locally, why do they have to be uploaded to google drive to begin with?)
- (2019-10-09) Bob Meyer: Wanted this to have a slideshow of wallpaper, but it always shows the same one. I set the time between images to 10 minutes, but it never changes. Pretty worthless.
- (2019-09-29) Scubadoo Calgary: When I first installed this app, it worked. After trying Shufflepaper, which did not work, I reverted to this app, which now does not work in Slideshow mode. Even after Powerwashing my Chromebook, this app does not work in Slideshow mode.
- (2019-03-10) Good. But no random option for slideshow.
- (2019-02-17) Seren Osmond: Just a fantastic extension! It really works crazy well. Will choose and cycle through the wallpapers from a folder that I choose on the interval I choose :) Definitely a must have for a chrome os user!
- (2019-02-16) Ee Do: How do I open the extension? I'm currently on Chrome OS 73 Beta
- (2018-12-30) MJ: Works great
- (2018-12-09) Peter Edwards (Lopalos): Simple, easy to use and does exactly what it says on the tin!
- (2018-11-12) Semmy De Nada: Sensational! Since it has been proven scientifically that inspiring background images can help you to elevate mood and support reaching your goals - your background tool is essential in my journey only working in the cloud and haven forsaken any other operating systems we need more developer like yours to make Chrome shine. You made my day.
- (2018-11-09) Luke Motta: great interface, but I switched the slideshow change speed from the default 1 day to 1 minute however it is still only working every 24hrs. Are you aware of this issue?
- (2018-10-05) Josh: Finally! Beautiful backgrounds are always a nice surprise when you've finished all your work. Very easy to setup with the perfect amount of options. Thanks! ;)
- (2018-09-07) Lochlan Hughes: Fantastic! Now I can have a slideshow of all my favourite cars!
- (2018-06-19) Philipp Bauer: Very nice interface. The tabbed navigation looks awesome with the scrolling behavior and the tinted window handle.
- (2018-05-15) Ule Amra: I was mainly looking for something to tile a picture across the display and I'm afraid this fell a bit short, failing to tile across a full 1920x1080 display (huge black border all the way around). Nice interface, great idea, REALLY appreciate the tile feature, just iron out this HD wrinkle and I'll probably use this.
- (2017-10-06) Savannah Richards: hi, i like the promise of this, but I can't get it to shuffle wallpaper? It just keeps the first item in my folder. I have it set to 'slideshow' and everything. Any tips would be great. Thanks.
- (2017-09-04) Chris F: Wow! I couldn't even FIND the regular app,but after downloading yours it only took me 5 seconds to change to the wallpaper I wanted. Thank you!
- (2017-08-05) Chris Hoyt: Really well done and developer is responsive and helpful. Beautiful work.
- (2017-07-18) Bob Winn: Great app. Works just as good as Windows wallpaper slideshow. Thanks
- (2017-06-16) Yanny Mishchuk: Great app with very useful and nice features I'm surprised Chrome OS doesn't include this functionality in the first place.
