Spotlight Wallpaper Finder

Many can agree that Microsoft’s custom selection of high quality lock screen photos taken in various places across the globe bring a much-needed splash of color and variety to the default computer-generated renders that ship with the latest iteration of Windows.

As such, if you have encountered some memorable wallpapers out of the ever-changing daily rotation of pictures in Windows Spotlight and you wanted to save them in full quality without having to go through certain workarounds involving hidden folders, then Spotlight Wallpaper Finder may be the perfect tool for this very purpose.

Given its relatively small file size and portable format, users can take the app on-the-go and launch it instantly without having to rely on installation wizards or other hurdles to get it up and running. Since the source code is readily available, those with experience in using the Python programming language can easily inspect it and make modifications to enhance its functionality as they see fit,

Double-clicking its executable instantly fetches the wallpapers and places them inside your local account’s Pictures library for easy access, from where you can reorder them in custom directories. This process eliminates the need for trying to take screenshots of the lock screen and performing reverse image search just to find something that is technically already available on your system.

For automation purposes, users can place the executable file in the taskbar tray to avoid leaving it on the desktop or searching for it in a certain directory. Through the use of an open-source scripting language known as AutoHotKey, one can assign the executable file to a certain key that they rarely use, such as the Pause button, to instantly trigger the script.

Whether you like a certain collection of photos provided by Microsoft and you want to save it for offline use, or you simply want to grow your wallpaper collection, then Spotlight Wallpaper Finder’s straightforward user experience and quick image extraction features can help you save time and energy when you want to keep a particular slew of enticing pictures for long-term use.
