How to Make a Screensaver for a Mac (5 Steps)

Open your finder by clicking on your hard drive icon. Click on 'Pictures,' open 'file' and click on 'New Folder.' 'Untitled folder' will appear under Pictures. Click on the folder and name it 'My Screen Saver.'
Drag as many photos and pictures that you would like to include in your screen saver to your new folder. If you would like the screen saver to play in a particular order, then arrange the photos from top to bottom in the folder according to the desired order (top photo is first); otherwise, the order does not matter.
Click on the Apple icon on the top left side of your screen. Click on 'System Preferences.' Click on 'Desktop and Screen savers.' Click on 'Screen Saver.' There will be a list of different folders under 'Screen Savers.' If your folder 'My Screen Saver' is not on the list, then click on the + button, and add that folder by clicking on 'Pictures' and then 'My Screen Saver.'
Click on 'My Screen Saver.' Your pictures should begin to show in the preview window. Below the preview window is a list of options you can use to customize your screen saver.
Adjust the 'Start screen saver' option by dragging the arrow to the appropriate length of inactivity needed for the screen saver to begin to play. Click on the 'Display Style' bar to select how you would like the pictures to be played (one after another, spinning in one after another, or beginning from one corner and showing the whole set). You can further customize your screen saver by selecting 'Options' and choosing 'random order,' 'cross-fade between slides,' 'zoom back and forth,' 'crop slides to fill screen' or 'keep sides centered.' Set your options and quit System Preferences.
