Where Canvas stores imported files

Canvas for Mac is a privacy-first app. We do not upload your wallpapers or track your usage.

When you import a wallpaper, Canvas copies it into a secure, hidden local directory so it can manage your gallery safely. The exact storage locations are:

  • Imported Wallpapers & Data: ~/Library/Application Support/CanvasForMac/
  • Live Wallpaper Thumbnails: ~/Library/Application Support/CanvasForMac/LiveWallpaperThumbnails/

If you ever want to clear up space, you can delete files from these folders, though doing so will remove them from your Canvas gallery.
