Pixel Invaders FAQ
How do I set Pixel Invaders as my screensaver on a Mac?
Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Pixel Invaders in the library and click Set as Screensaver. macOS starts it whenever your Mac is idle, exactly like a built-in screensaver.
Can I use Pixel Invaders as a live wallpaper?
Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Pixel Invaders plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.
Is Pixel Invaders free?
Yes. Pixel Invaders is Free Forever in SCRNSVRS – no account, no ads, no subscription.
Is Pixel Invaders a video loop?
No. Pixel Invaders is rendered live on your Mac with Metal, so it never repeats and stays sharp on any display size. The clip on this page is a screen recording of the real thing.
Will Pixel Invaders slow down my Mac or drain the battery?
No. SCRNSVRS drops to 30 fps on battery and stops rendering when the wallpaper is covered by a full-screen app, so Pixel Invaders costs next to nothing in everyday use.
Which Macs does Pixel Invaders run on?
Pixel Invaders needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
