Wallpaper New Tab Privacy

Make every new tab feel like yours.

Wallpaper New Tab is a small Chrome extension that puts your own image, GIF, or video behind a calm, clean new tab. No accounts, no servers, nothing sent anywhere.

Add to Chrome Free. Takes about ten seconds.

Your wallpaper sits behind a clock, search bar and shortcuts you can move around.
How it works
1

Add the extension

Install it from the Chrome Web Store. Open a new tab and you will see a clean starting page.

2

Choose a wallpaper

Drag an image, GIF, or MP4/WebM video onto the page, upload one, or right-click any image or video on the web and pick "Set as wallpaper".

3

Make it yours

Adjust fit, brightness and blur, then use Arrange layout to move and resize the clock, search and shortcuts.

What else it does

A library of moods

Save a few wallpapers and switch between them in one click. They live on your device, ready when you are.

Easy on your battery

Videos start muted and loop quietly. A pause toggle cuts motion whenever you want less going on.

Clock, date and search

Show or hide each one. Searching takes you straight to Google.

Your own shortcuts

Google, YouTube and Gmail are there to start. Add any site you like.

What it isn't

Not a cloud service

There is no account and no sync. Your wallpapers stay in your browser on this device.

Not watching your browsing

It only asks for two permissions, storage and a right-click menu. It cannot read the pages you visit.

Not a photo host

When you set a wallpaper from a website, the extension saves the link, not a copy. If that site removes the file, upload your own copy instead.

Not full of trackers

No analytics, no ads, no remote code. Everything it runs ships inside the extension.

Nothing to sign up for. Nothing to turn off.

Add to Chrome, it's free
