Be it a computer/laptop or a cell phone, background wallpaper is something your attention goes at. Uploading & setting up an image wallpaper as background wallpaper is a piece of cake, however, have you ever thought about putting GIF desktop background on your computer? Well, I did & from my experience I can tell you, it’s amazing.

Now we all know how GIFs have become a trend on almost every social media platform. I believe this is one of the reasons that we put the trend on our wallpaper on the Windows 10 system as well.

Let’s Find Out The Ways to Use animated GIFs as Windows 10 Wallpaper

Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is the trend everyone is following these days blindly & I believe that’s what makes us wonder to put that as GIF wallpaper for PC. The shocking news is that Windows doesn’t have any option to set animated GIF as the Windows 10 GIF wallpaper. So let’s find out the workarounds to make things work & set Windows 10 animated GIF wallpapers:

1. In order to get animated GIF wallpaper for your PC, you will need to take support from third party software that claims to be the exact solution you are looking for.

1. Let’s start the process by downloading Bionix Video Wallpaper Animator on your PC with the installation process.

2. Post installation, an auto window will pop up with a few entries where you need to choose “Video Wallpaper” & double click on it.

3. The Red & Black combo app will open up & you need to select the “Video Wallpaper” tab on the app.

4. In the Video Wallpaper tab, click on the File icon & find the location where your GIF files are stored to be out as an animated GIF desktop background.

5. Now, all you need to do is, select the GIF you like & tap on Start. Give it a few seconds & you will see the same GIF as the new GIF desktop background for your PC.

Note: After putting the GIF as wallpaper for PC, you can Stop & Pause also the same file according to your wish. Isn’t this awesome!!
