AnyImage Screen Saver v1.06

Turn Your Photos Into a Stunning Screensaver

Windows comes with a handful of generic screensavers, but none of them let you showcase your photos. If you have a collection of vacation snapshots, family portraits, digital artwork, or wallpaper images sitting in a folder, AnyImage Screen Saver turns them into a beautiful, personalized screensaver slideshow with over 170 eye-catching transition effects.

Setup is simple: install the software, select AnyImage as your screensaver in Windows Display Settings, then point it to any directory containing your images. AnyImage supports JPG, BMP, EMF, WMF, and ICO formats, so virtually any image on your computer can be part of the slideshow. With subdirectory scanning, your entire photo library becomes available -- there is no limit to the number of image files AnyImage can cycle through.

You have full control over how your images are displayed. Randomize the display order for variety, go full screen for maximum impact, center images on a colored background, or scatter them at random positions across the screen. The powerful filter system lets you narrow down which files appear by file size, extension, or Windows file attributes, so you see exactly what you want.

Key Features

How to Get Started

Getting AnyImage Screen Saver running takes just a few steps:

• Download and install -- Download the ZIP file below, extract anyimage.scr into your \Windows directory, or use the included installer to set it up automatically.
• Select the screensaver -- Right-click your desktop, choose Properties (or search for "Screen Saver Settings" on Windows 10/11), then select anyimage from the dropdown list.
• Configure your images -- Click the "Settings" button to open the AnyImage configuration. Set your image directory path, choose display options, select your transitions, and adjust the filter settings.
• Enjoy -- Your photos will appear as a slideshow with your chosen transition effects whenever the screensaver activates. AnyImage stores its settings in anyimage.ini located in your Windows AppData folder.

Photo CD Slideshow

AnyImage Screen Saver can also be used to create photo CD slideshows. Copy anyimage.scr and anyimage.ini to your CD along with your photos, set the image path to \ (root), and use an autorun utility to launch the screensaver automatically when the disc is inserted. This is a great way to share photo collections with family and friends on a self-playing disc.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• Seeing the RJL logo instead of your photos? The logo appears when AnyImage cannot find any images matching your criteria. Check that your image path is correct, "Include subdirectories" is enabled if needed, and that no filters on the Filter tab are accidentally excluding your files (file size, extension, and attribute filters should all be unchecked unless you specifically need them). You can also enable "Show image filename" under Misc options to help diagnose which files are being loaded.
• Want to disable transitions? If you prefer a simple slideshow without transition effects, open the screensaver settings and turn off the transitions option in the Transitions tab. Images will simply appear one after another.
• Where are the settings stored? On modern versions of Windows, AnyImage stores its configuration in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\anyimage.ini.
• UTF-8 filenames -- The current version does not support UTF-8 characters in filenames. Files with non-ASCII characters will be skipped. Rename these files to standard characters if you want them included.
• Close behavior -- How the screensaver closes depends on the close options you have configured. You can set it to close on mouse movement, keyboard press, or other methods through the settings screen.
