Our verdict on Palace

Palace is a cross-platform wallpaper manager and media engine for people who want more control than a static desktop background. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and web access, with tools for organizing wallpapers into collections, albums, categories, favorites, and searchable libraries. Local folders and network wallpaper sources are supported, making it suitable for users managing personal media across different locations and devices.

Its strongest area is scheduled and multi-display automation. Palace can rotate wallpapers sequentially or in shuffle mode, assign independent target slots, and apply per-display schedules. Display modes include fit, fill, center, tile, stretch, and span, while desktop video wallpapers can pause during full-screen games or movies. These controls make Palace a practical choice for multi-monitor setups and users who want different wallpaper behavior across screens rather than one background applied everywhere.

The media feature set is broad, covering images, GIF, MP4, WebM, and GLSL shader wallpapers. Effects include blur, vignette, sepia, hue, grain, and kaleidoscope, giving users additional ways to alter displayed media. According to the listed plan, the Lifetime license costs $8 as a one-time purchase and includes lifetime access, all platforms, lifetime updates, and no subscription. Palace should suit users who value platform coverage, animated formats, and automation. Those seeking a free option or open-source software should choose an alternative.
