macOS comes with beautiful wallpapers to let you choose from among the best. Keeping the same wallpaper every day can become boring. You can always change the desktop wallpaper from System Settings. Repeating the same tasks every day is tedious. Instead, you can make your Mac automatically change the wallpaper periodically.
There are several ways to change the wallpaper automatically on a Mac. You can use the default System Settings app or rely on a third-party wallpaper app to periodically change your desktop wallpaper. But first, you need to create a folder with your favorite photos and set it to auto rotate from System Settings.
Create a wallpaper folder on your Mac
You will need to create a local folder containing all the images you want to set as wallpaper on your Mac. There are two ways to create a wallpaper folder on a Mac. You can use the default Photos app or the Finder menu to create the folder.
Photos App on Mac
If you sync photos on your iPhone or iPad with iCloud, you can access them from the default Photos app on your Mac.
Step 1: Open the Photos app on Mac.
Step 2: Select a photo and right-click it (or click with two fingers on the trackpad).
Step 3: Expand ‘Add to’ from the context menu and select ‘New Album’. Give it a suitable name.
Finder app on Mac
Step 1: Open Finder from the Mac dock.
Step 2: Select some photos and right click on them.
Step 3: Click on ‘New Folder with Selection’ and rename the folder. Press the Return key to complete the folder.
Automatically change wallpaper on Mac
After you create a photo folder on your Mac, use the steps below to automate all of the wallpapers.
Step 1: Press Command + Space to open Spotlight Search.
Step 2: Search for System Settings and press return to launch the app.
Step 3: Scroll to Wallpaper and expand the ‘Add Photo Album’ menu.
Step 4: Select your newly created folder and check all the photos from the same menu.
Step 5: Click ‘Auto Rotate’ and the system will change the desktop wallpaper on your Mac.
Step 6: To change the auto rotation frequency, expand the “Change Picture” menu and select the corresponding cycle.
You can also automatically change the wallpaper when you sign in or when you wake your Mac from sleep. macOS allows you to change the wallpaper randomly from a folder.
If you want to import wallpapers from the Finder app, click ‘Add Folder’ to open Finder. Select a folder and set all auto-rotating photos as wallpapers on your Mac.
Set dynamic desktop wallpaper
Any Mac running macOS Mojave or later can choose a live wallpaper from System Settings. Such desktop images change throughout the day based on your location. For example, the wallpaper will be bright and ready to greet you in the morning. It will turn dark in the late afternoon or night.
Step 1: Click the Apple Menu in the top left corner and select System Settings to open it on your Mac.
Step 2: Select the Wallpaper section. Then select any wallpaper in the Dynamic Desktop section and make sure to select Dynamic from the same.
