Free trial vs Premium — what is the difference?

The Webshots app is free to download, and new accounts get a trial of 50+ wallpapers to use as screen savers or desktop backgrounds. A Webshots Premium subscription ($3.99/month or $39.99/year) removes ads and unlocks the full library of 5,000+ HD and 4K photos.

Are photo screensavers safe to install?

Many older "free screensavers" sites bundle adware or malware. Webshots is a safe, vetted alternative — every release is submitted to Microsoft for a safety review before we publish it to the Microsoft Store and our website. You can install Webshots from the Microsoft Store to be extra safe. here →
