Works with any WebDAV-compatible NAS

Connect via

  • Synology Photos native
  • Immich native
  • WebDAV
  • SMB / CIFS
  • Local photos on your device

How It Works

Three steps. Nothing leaves your network.

Connect Your NAS

Sign in to Synology Photos or Immich, or connect over WebDAV (QNAP, Nextcloud, TrueNAS). No NAS? Use the photos on your device.

Choose Your Folders

Pick the folders you want. Pixette indexes them and shuffles everything into one playlist.

Enjoy Your Slideshow

Photos you had forgotten, back on screen. Mount an old tablet and it becomes a frame.

Everything You Need

Looks beautiful on screen

Smart Slideshow

Shuffles through all your memories with smooth Ken Burns zoom & pan transitions. Videos play inline between photos.

Intelligent Framing

Face detection centers every photo on the people that matter. Saliency detection and Fill Screen mode eliminate black bars.

Pair Photos Side by Side

Two portrait photos side by side on a landscape screen, so a wide display isn't wasted on one tall photo between black bars.

Plays Nearly Any Video Format

A built-in player powered by VLC handles formats your device can't open on its own, and Movie Boost mixes clips into the slideshow as often as you like.

Your info, your way

EXIF Data & Filters

Extract date, location, and camera data from your photos. Display them as overlays or filter by date range and orientation.

Custom Overlays

Display clock, folder name, photo date, and location on screen. Fully customisable overlay format and variables.

Live Weather Overlay

Current conditions and a four-day forecast, right on your slideshow. Add temperature and weather to any overlay with simple variables.

A frame that lives in your room

Sleep & Wake

Scheduled sleep and wake for overnight peace. Perfect for always-on digital picture frames.

Motion-Aware Sleep

The front camera works as a presence sensor: plays while you're in the room, dims to black when it's empty, wakes when you walk back in. Processed on-device, never stored or uploaded.

Offline Playback

Cached photos keep the show running even when your NAS or network drops, so your frame never goes dark.

Custom Margins

Nudge the slideshow to sit perfectly inside your real picture frame, aligning the image within its mat or bezel.

Privacy First

No uploads, no third-party cloud. Your photos stay on your NAS or device and are streamed directly to your screen.

Loved by Users

"My problem - Synology NAS drive with almost 70K photos accumulated over 20+ years and no easy way to view them. Got a gently used iPad and with this app turned it into a very decent slideshow device. Setup was quite straightforward."

"I needed an app to turn an old iPad into a slideshow / digital frame. There are a lot of photos / they won't fit on the local storage of the old iPad. Set this app up to view the share on my NAS, indexed and it worked like a champ."

"Great creative app for Synology NAS users. It has been two weeks and our family is reliving our memories for many years. I have more than 100k photos in my collection."
