@swedenoppvp Hello, swedenoppvp. You need to put ''.png'' to the last of your file name and choose ''All files'' selection, your background is ready. Enjoy your new background!

This does not work for win10 as the .gif and what not is no longer part of the file name, any other ideas?

@samsamtran so you can edit the file name right, you need to put .png at the end of the file name after you save the image as but make sure the .gif part is gone sry if its confusing

@samsamtran To change in the extension you need to open your file explorer (Win + E) and display the extensions in file explorer view settings :

@kened I changed my live wallpaper from .gif to .webp and it still said "Unsupported File Type". What do I do now?

@skelinatra If you can upload the file somewhere, others can try it and see what the issue is.

@kened this worked very well, i advise people to use this converter as it has smooth 20 frames and good output. https://mconverter.eu/convert/mp4/webp/

You can use a webp format to get a gif background. if you cant download it as a webp you can turn a gif into a webp using https://ezgif.com/gif-to-webp its easy to use.
