StartwerkUp to ten photos
Choose them or drag them in. Startwerk tells you when the limit is reached.
Your own photos on Chrome’s new tab.
The people and places you like, every time you open a tab. Add up to ten of your own photos to Startwerk, and they take turns on your new tab, with a soft crossfade every ten minutes.

A little bit of home in your browser
Stock wallpapers are nice, but your own pictures mean more. Drag photos onto the widget or choose them from your computer. Startwerk shrinks them to a sensible size and keeps them on your device.
The rotation is shared by all your tabs, so opening a new tab doesn’t change the picture you were just looking at. Every photo comes up once per round, never the same one twice in a row.
What the photo widget does

A gentle crossfade, in random order, without repeats in a row.

Questions and answers
Do my photos sync to my other computers?
No. Photos stay on the device where you added them, so they don’t fill up your Chrome Sync storage.
Can I change how often the photo changes?
Not at the moment. The photo changes every ten minutes.
Can I use a photo as the whole background?
Yes. In Settings → Appearance → Background, choose Photo.
