Ambiant Pixel Free download

Pixel art live wallpaper that is actually alive

Hand-built pixel art scenes that run live on your desktop. Dawn, day, dusk and night follow your clock, the moon shows its real phase, rain and fog come and go, and animals and rare events show up on their own. It is not a 30-second GIF on repeat.

Three scenes

Jungle

Waterfall, giant trees, rope bridges, a stone temple. Parrots, a jaguar, a crocodile, fireflies at night.

Neon City

A cyberpunk skyline with flickering signs, rain on the street, an elevated train, drones and fireworks.

Night Train

A sleeper train crossing a bay under a neon city. Out on October 27.

Made for pixel art fans

Every scene is drawn at a small internal resolution and scaled up by a whole number, so each pixel stays a clean square on 1080p, 1440p, 4K, 3440×1440 and 5120×1440. Nothing is smoothed or blurred. It runs in Lively Wallpaper and Wallpaper Engine on Windows, in a small Mac app, or in any browser. Phones get vertical stills and videos.
