FAQ — Nyan Cat Screensaver
What is the Nyan Cat screensaver?
Nyan Cat is the famous 2011 internet meme — a pixel cat with a pop-tart body that flies through space leaving a rainbow trail. This page turns it into a screensaver in your browser using HTML5 Canvas, with one or many cats flying across a twinkling starfield and adjustable count, speed and size.
Is this the real Nyan Cat?
No — it's an original tribute, not the real thing. The character here is its own design (a ginger tabby with a golden waffle-biscuit body) and the music is an original chiptune, so no copyrighted artwork or song is reproduced. It's an unofficial homage inspired by the flying-rainbow-cat idea and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original creator.
Does it play the original song?
No. Toggle 8-bit music on (or press M) and a looping original chiptune plays, generated live with the Web Audio API — an original tune written for this page, not the meme's copyrighted song. It starts muted, so nothing plays until you turn it on.
How do I run this fullscreen as a screensaver?
Click the animation or press Enter Fullscreen in the sidebar. The cats fill your entire screen. Move your mouse to reveal the exit button, or press Escape to return to normal view. You can also press F to toggle fullscreen at any time.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. This Nyan Cat screensaver runs entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. There is nothing to download or install. It works on any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.
Is this Nyan Cat screensaver free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no ads, no watermark. It is one of the free browser-based tools at jasperbernaers.com.
