8 Best Freewares to create custom Screensavers!

Screensavers definitely attract us and we all want to have some cool looking or personalized screensavers for our computers. There are many screensavers available for us to download but there are people like me who like to have personalized or custom screensavers and for them there are many utilities which can help in creating the screensavers pretty easily and no programming knowledge is required for that.

Here are some of the software which can help you in creating custom screensavers :

1. InstaSaver : It’s a web application which can help you in creating the screensavers pretty easily. Just upload the pictures (at the max 10 & not more than 512 Kb/image) or import them from Flickr and then it creates the installer for you to download. Thilak has done a good review of InstaSaver and suggests that although, it isn’t the best but yes, it certainly is fun little web application.

2. ScreenSwift : allows you to create installable flash screensavers. The screensavers can be highly customized and it can make any swf file as a screensaver. The software allows you to add mp3 files for background music and much more. It’s free but in case you want to sell screensavers, then you need to buy a licensed version which costs around $ 69.95. Download ScreenSwift.

3. PhotoMeister : is a great freeware when it comes to doing various things with your photos. It lets you make screensavers, export them as PDF, create web albums, create multimedia CDs, DVDs. Download PhotoMeister.

7. Google Picasa : is a popular (will you doubt about its popularity when the word Google is in front of it ?) and free image organizer. The good thing about this software is that it lets you create screensaver with the images and lets you play them on your computer.
