Do you know a vibrant, colorful desktop wallpaper can uplift your mood? If you are an avid computer user, having a nice and lively desktop wallpaper and a lock screen image is very important. It is equally important to change the wallpaper occasionally to break the monotony. While we have already posted a tutorial on how to save Spotlight Lock Screen images in Windows 11/10. Today in this post, we will learn about some tools that help you save all the Spotlight images in one folder and use them when you want as desktop wallpapers.
Save Windows Spotlight Images in the desired folder
You can use Windows Spotlight Tool, JpegSync, Windows Spotlight Extractor or Lock Screen Reflection to save Spotlight Lock Screen images & use them as Wallpapers.

Download and install the Windows Spotlight Tool. Here, select the path to save the images and click on the Export tab. Check the box to add the JPG extension to each image automatically.
I just finished installing the tool, and storing the images in the selected folder took less than a minute. The screenshot shows that the folder has 125 Spotlight images; however, some of these files are black files, while some are the app icons and asset images.
Windows 11/10 has a limited background image collection for the Desktop or Lock Screen. But Windows Spotlight comes with a huge collection of stunning background images worldwide.
If you have been using the Windows Spotlight feature, you might know that it is not easy to find where the images are stored and use them – and also the desktop wallpaper and lock screen images change randomly. This is where the Windows Spotlight Tool helps you. With this tool installed on your PC, you can save all the images in the desired folder and change your desktop wallpaper and lock screen image whenever possible.
Using the same desktop wallpaper and lock screen image for many days can be boring, but then again, we don’t usually want to waste our time checking the Windows Spotlight images stored in the hidden folders of our computer systems.
