Overview
A small Windows system tray utility that changes your desktop wallpaper on a schedule or with a hotkey. No installation is required; controls live in the tray menu.
Supported image formats: BMP, PNG, JPG, and GIF.
Features
- Change wallpaper when Windows starts, at regular intervals, or on demand.
- Browse a randomized list with Next and Previous, with wraparound.
- Include images from subfolders.
- Discover added and removed images before every wallpaper change.
- Pause automatic changes while keeping manual navigation available.
- Customize hotkeys and refresh intervals.
- Open, edit, or view properties of the current image.
- Enable or disable running at Windows startup.
Getting started
Run Wallpaper Randomizer.exe. On first launch, select your wallpaper folder. Right-click the tray icon for settings and other actions.
Requires Windows 8 or later. The compiled executable needs no additional tools.
Default hotkeys:
- Next wallpaper: Win+F5
- Previous wallpaper: Shift+Win+F5
Settings are saved in Wallpaper Randomizer.ini beside the application. Most settings can be changed through the tray menu. Manual INI edits require a restart.
