Is it possible to use and set up my own screen saver on my MacBook Pro M4 and if so, what file type should I use for this?


Thanks in advance for your response

The answer previously provided is for wallpaper, not screensavers.


Searching the web, I'm finding that most articles on making custom screen savers are out of date by 10-11 years, and the format Apple uses seems to change over time


Try searching the web for "mac screensaver format" and see if anything looks useful. Be sure to look at the dates of any articles, as many contain obsolete information.

There is a cost for that.
