Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

DeskDoll is a Windows desktop companion that turns a user-provided photo into a character that walks along the bottom of the screen.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-24 issue.

For: Windows users who want a custom desktop pet
Worth noticing: The page says hit testing follows the character’s actual pixels, while clicks pass through to windows beneath her.

Field notes

The page lists version 1.7.2 as a 174 MB download for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. It describes two ways to remove a photo background, including a segmentation model for more complex images and an instant mode for plain backdrops. The character’s movement is described as procedural animation over the supplied still image; macOS support for Apple Silicon is listed as coming soon.
