Back in March we announced the development of our browser-free, full-screen Desktop App for Windows. Well, the wait is over and the application is ready to download today!
Click here to get Webkinz Desktop App for Windows.
Once the download completes, run the installer and you’ll get the new app with an icon on your desktop. Our app automatically updates itself, so you’ll always have the latest and greatest version – no more downloads needed!
Again, this version is for Windows computers only, but we’re happy to announce that the Mac version is going very well and we expect it to be in release state much sooner than first planned! Stay tuned. Also, as a reminder, this application does require the Flash player to remain on your computer, but if you’re playing Webkinz on your PC now, you already have Flash and nothing needs to change.
Finally we’d like to put out a special thanks to all of the Webkinz players who helped us beta test our Desktop App. With your input we’ve created the best, most secure way to play Webkinz ever!
Have fun and let us know below what you think of the new app! We love reading your feedback.

Have questions about the Webkinz Desktop App? Check out our earlier special report answering your questions here.
Is Webkinz ever going to be available completely on chrome book?
Are there any plans for an Android app or for an expansion of the mobile app? My family only has a Chromebook.
Please make a windowed version!
super excited for when this is released for mac!!!!
The lack of a windowed mode really concerns me… it can’t be that hard to add upon release? Seems like an important feature lol. Sally or Steve, can you confirm if a windowed mode is planned or not?
It’s great, Thank you been playing since 2005. Love it!
I am so happy you made it easy. I was so nervous because I expected it to be super hard. I am not very good with computers and was expecting this to be the end of my webkinz days, rofl. Thanks for the simple “click here to download” button. XD
Hi, I tried to download the new desktop app to my computer, but when I downloaded it, it asked me to download Adobe flash player to play. I thought the whole point of this new app was that it didn’t need flash player. Pretty confused right now.
No, browsers are discontinuing support for Adobe Flash. Webkinz World is still Flash-based, so Flash is required for it to run. The Desktop app will support Flash when the browsers don’t.
the computer needs to have flash player, so check it out
I like the new Webkinz app but, I was wondering if we can make the window smaller so that I can bring up my webkinz recipe book pdf. I like to get drop down the window so that I can make the cool recipes I’ve coolected over the years. By the way, thanks for the new recipe for the Neon Swimsuit!!
I don’t think we can at the moment but the easiest way i found to switch back and forth is to press the Windows key and click where you wanna go!
or alt + tab on windows, still should have a windowed mode anyway
Thanks xxmgn & barkopinko1916 for the help. Both ways work. Now I don’t have to print all 12 pages of my recipe book! :)
are you ever going to make it windowed? fullscreen is rather intimidating and especially the lack of options hurts the app, otherwise it’s great
I agree!
I agree!
