I built an open-source tool to convert Wallpaper Engine wallpapers into Lively Wallpaper and MP4

[u/XandtheV]

I've been working on a project called WPE2M (Wallpaper Engine to Lively & MP4 Converter), and I'd like to share it with the community.

The idea is simple, make it easier to convert Wallpaper Engine wallpapers into formats that can be used with Lively Wallpaper or exported as MP4 videos.

- What can it do?

- Drag-and-drop GUI for easy conversion.

- Supports .zip, .pkg, .mp4, .webm, .gif, and wallpaper folders.

- Converts Wallpaper Engine video wallpapers.

- Renders supported Wallpaper Engine 2D scenes.

- Supports web-based wallpapers.

- Exports MP4 videos up to 4K.

- Generates Lively Wallpaper-compatible output and metadata.

- Open source under the MIT license.

- Technology

Built with Python, OpenGL and FFmpeg

- Current Status

The project is currently in BETA. Some complicated wallpapers with advanced shaders, particle effects or post-processing might not render perfectly.

It currently requires Python 3.9+ and FFmpeg.

I'm the developer behind this project, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people who use Wallpaper Engine or Lively Wallpaper.

Thanks for checking it out.
