Turn Your NAS Photos Into a Beautiful Slideshow
Connect to Synology Photos, Immich, or any NAS with WebDAV. Nothing gets uploaded. An old tablet becomes the frame.

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.

"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."

App Store"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."
