(If not, here’s a useful primer.) I will, however, suggest using the “Live Albums” feature in Google Photos, which uses face recognition to automatically update albums over time. #WINDOWS GOOGLE PHOTOS SCREENSAVER UPDATE#

If you haven’t created a Live Album already, head to the Albums section of Google Photos and select “Create album” in the top-right part of your screen. Add a title for the album, then hit “Select people & pets.” You’ll then see a menu of faces to select. For anyone you click on, all your photos of them will be added to the album-including new photos you take later.

Setting up John’s Background Switcherįor Windows, you can install JBS through the green download link on this page. #WINDOWS GOOGLE PHOTOS SCREENSAVER INSTALL# (Mac users must either buy JBS through the developer’s website for $8, or through the Mac App Store for $9.)įor a wallpaper that feels a little less virtual, try setting JBS’s Picture Mode to “Create a postcard Pile” or “Create a Polaroid pile” instead of a collage. Both will scatter a selection of photos across your desktop, but the latter will mimic old instant photos with square aspect ratios and thick bottom borders.

Jared Newman / IDGĪgain, if these photos feel too small-or too large-you can head to the same Montages menu I mentioned before, and this time adjust the horizontal slider next to image that shows a stack of pictures. I’ve found that getting the sizing just right can take some finagling, so experiment with different sizes to see what works best. In Windows, you can also use the “Spacing between snapshots” slider to control how much your photos overlap. I suggest choosing a value of -50 or -100. #WINDOWS GOOGLE PHOTOS SCREENSAVER MAC#.#WINDOWS GOOGLE PHOTOS SCREENSAVER SOFTWARE#.#WINDOWS GOOGLE PHOTOS SCREENSAVER MANUAL#.#WINDOWS GOOGLE PHOTOS SCREENSAVER UPDATE#.
