Screensavers by ZawebaBring back the screensaver, and make your own.
Twenty original screensavers, and a simple way to make your own. Starfield warp, Aquarium, Deep space, Night motorway, a big clock, your photos and more, with live previews, plus screensavers made from your own web pages.
This version isn't signed for Windows yet: if SmartScreen warns you, choose More info › Run anyway. Why?
Screensavers by Zaweba brings back the joy of a good screensaver. Twenty originals, all drawn by our own code: Starfield warp, Aquarium, Code Rain, Bounce, Maze walk, Fireworks, Lava lamp, Aurora, Rain on glass, Big clock, Photos and Wonder facts, plus a night pack of dark scenes with a few bright moving things: Difference clouds, Deep space, Shuttle drift, Growing foliage, Poker deal, Stout pour, Night motorway and Animals in the dark. Each has its own settings and a live preview that follows them.
Make your own too. Turn any folder of web files into a screensaver, or export an animation from Anima by Zaweba straight to one. Choose one per monitor or one across them all, set a frame cap, and let the battery saver blank the screen when your laptop is running low.

Twenty originals
From a warp through the stars to an aquarium of made-up fish, a first-person maze walk and rain running down glass.
Live previews
See each screensaver in the manager as you change its settings, then preview it full screen.
Several monitors
One on each monitor, one spanning them all, or the main monitor only with the others black.
Your photos
Show photos from your Pictures or folders you choose, with pan and zoom, or only Disk Sort favourites.
Make your own
Turn any folder with an index.html into a screensaver, or export one from an Anima by Zaweba animation.
A night pack
Turning galaxies, a foggy motorway at night, cards dealt on felt and a stout that pours and settles, all dark and easy on the eye.
A screensaver for every mood
Big clock drifts slowly round the screen, flip or analogue, so it's kind to OLED screens. Bounce shows your own words or logo and throws confetti when it hits a corner exactly. Wonder facts shows random articles from Wonder by Zaweba. Everything is original, with descriptive names.
- Eight new night-time screensavers
- Install several and get one at random
- A 30 or 60 fps cap and a battery saver

Screensavers FAQ
How do I set one as my screensaver?
Choose it in the manager and press Use this screensaver. It installs to your profile and opens Windows' Screen Saver Settings.
Can I have more than one?
Yes. Install several builds the ones you tick into one screensaver that picks one of them at random each time.
Will it slow my PC down?
No. Even the heaviest screensaver used under 2% of a mid-range PC's processor in our tests, and the frame cap keeps it light.
