How much disk space do live wallpapers take?

A typical 4K live wallpaper is 20–80 MB. Only wallpapers you download are stored locally.

Live wallpapers in the Wallper library are compressed with modern HEVC and AV1 codecs to stay small while preserving quality. A 10‑second 4K loop is typically 20–40 MB, and longer 30‑second loops stay under 80 MB.

All downloaded files live in ~/Library/Application Support/Wallper/Downloads. You can clear the cache at any time from the app’s Preferences — originals stay available in the online catalog.
