However, we built a convenient system that allows owners of Wallpaper Engine on Windows to transfer their wallpapers to Android devices with ease: **Step 1:** Click on the new **Mobile** button in Wallpaper Engine on Windows, then select **Connect new device**. Wallpaper Engine will show you a 4 digit PIN that you can use to connect to your mobile device now. **Step 2:** Open Wallpaper Engine on your Android device and click on the **Add** button in the lower right corner. Select **Pair with Computer**, your computer should now be visible in the device list. Select it and enter the 4 digit PIN from step 1. **Step 3:** Your devices should now be connected. Right-click on any compatible wallpaper and click on **Send to mobile device**, then select your mobile device from the list. Your wallpaper will now be transferred. **If you are unable to connect to Android:** Right-click on any wallpaper and select **Send to mobile device**, then select **Export .mpkg**. You can then transfer the exported mobile package file to your mobile device via cable or by transferring it to your mobile device in another way. - [Click here to read our Android connection guide.](https://help.wallpaperengine.io/mobile/pairing.html) _Tip: You can also transfer folders or multiple wallpapers at the same time by multi-selecting them by holding the CTRL key.
