Starfield Screensaver_
Fly through space at warp speed — fullscreen, in your browser. Adjustable speed · streaks · color · no download.
What is the starfield screensaver?
The starfield screensaver simulates flying through space: points of light stream outward from the center of the screen, growing and stretching into streaks as you appear to accelerate. It is one of the most recognizable screensavers ever made — the Starfield Simulation shipped with early versions of Microsoft Windows and became shorthand for "computer at rest." This browser version recreates the effect on HTML5 Canvas with live controls for speed, star count, warp streaks and color.
Modes
✦ ClassicA steady, gentle drift through a white starfield — the original look.
🚀 HyperspaceMaximum speed and streak length for a light-speed jump.
🌈 NebulaMulticolored rainbow stars for a vivid deep-space feel.
🧘 ZenSlow and sparse — a calm, meditative drift.
How to use as a screensaver
Click Enter Fullscreen or click anywhere on the animation. The starfield will fill your entire screen. Move your mouse to reveal the exit button, or press Escape to exit. Drop it on a TV or a second monitor for an instant window into deep space. Works on any device — PC, Mac, tablet, phone.

▸ Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ — Starfield Screensaver
What is the starfield screensaver?
The starfield screensaver simulates flying through space: points of light stream outward from the center of the screen, growing and stretching into streaks as you appear to accelerate — just like the classic Starfield Simulation screensaver bundled with early versions of Microsoft Windows. This page recreates the effect in your browser using HTML5 Canvas, with adjustable speed, star count, streak length and color.
How do I get the warp speed effect?
Increase the Warp slider to stretch each star into a long streak, and raise the Speed slider to accelerate. The Hyperspace preset maxes both out for a dramatic light-speed jump. Lower the warp to return to discrete points of light drifting toward you. You can also press the Up and Down arrow keys to change speed on the fly.
How do I run this fullscreen as a screensaver?
Click the animation or press Enter Fullscreen in the sidebar. The starfield 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.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. This starfield 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 star color?
Yes. Choose white for the classic look, or blue, gold, green and other tints, switch on Rainbow mode for multicolored stars, or pick any custom hex color. The Nebula preset uses rainbow stars for a colorful deep-space feel.
Is this starfield screensaver free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no ads, no watermark. It is one of 122 free browser-based tools at jasperbernaers.com.
