How to Center Your Wallpaper on Wallpaper Engine?

Published in Wallpaper Engine Editing 2 mins read


To center your wallpaper image when importing it into the Wallpaper Engine editor, you need to use the specific centering option available in the import dialog.

Here's the straightforward process:

1.  **Open the Editor:** Launch Wallpaper Engine and open the editor where you create or modify wallpapers.
2.  **Import Your Image:** Get your desired image file into the editor using one of the following methods:
    *   **Drag and drop** the image file directly into the editor window.
    *   Go to the application menu and click on **Edit** > **Import Image**.
    *   Go to the **Add** menu (usually on the left or bottom panel) and select **Image Layer**.
3.  **Configure Import Options:** After initiating the import via any of the methods above, a new dialog window will open. This is the **Import Image Dialog**.
4.  **Enable Centering:** In this dialog, you will find various settings, including the **Texture Options (1.)** and importantly, a checkbox (2.). According to the reference, this checkbox **will resize the wallpaper to match your image and center it (2.)**. Ensure this checkbox is *selected* before confirming the import.

By using the import dialog and activating the option that resizes and centers the wallpaper relative to your image dimensions, your image will be automatically placed in the center of the wallpaper project.
