FAQ — Snowfall Screensaver
What is the snowfall screensaver?
It is a free browser-based screensaver that fills your screen with gently falling snow. It uses HTML5 Canvas to animate hundreds of individual snowflakes with wind, sway, glow and realistic accumulation that piles up at the bottom of the screen. There is nothing to download or install.
What preset modes are available?
Six presets are built in: Classic (gentle balanced snow), Blizzard (fast dense snow with strong wind), Christmas (warm festive snow with red and gold flakes), Calm (slow sparse oversized flakes), Night (cool blue flakes on a deep night sky), and Magic (multicolor sparkling flakes). Press keys 1–6 to switch instantly.
What is the snow accumulation effect?
When accumulation is enabled, snowflakes that reach the bottom of the screen settle and build up into a growing snowbank, just like real snow. The pile follows the wind, drifting higher on one side. You can turn it off in the Options panel, or click Clear Snow (or press C) to reset the pile at any time.
How do I run this fullscreen as a screensaver?
Click the canvas or press Enter Fullscreen in the sidebar. The snow will 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.
Can I use this as a Christmas screensaver?
Yes. Select the Christmas preset for warm festive snow with red and gold flakes, or use Magic for multicolor sparkles. Run it fullscreen on a monitor or TV for instant holiday atmosphere — it makes a great backdrop at parties and over the festive season.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. This snowfall 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.
Can I change the color of the snow?
Yes. Choose from preset color swatches (snow white, ice blue, cyan, frost pink, gold, holly red, violet, mint), enable multicolor mode for randomized per-flake colors, or use the custom color picker to enter any hex color. Color changes apply instantly to the live animation.
Can I use this as a live wallpaper on my desktop?
Open this page in your browser and press F11 or click Fullscreen to cover your screen with falling snow. For a persistent live desktop wallpaper, you would need dedicated wallpaper software (like Wallpaper Engine on Windows), but this browser version is the easiest way to get the snow effect on any device instantly.
Is this snowfall screensaver free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no ads, no watermark. It is one of many free browser-based tools at jasperbernaers.com.
