Guide — your own photos as a fullscreen slideshow
Add photos from your own device, pick a transition, a filter and a display time, and play them fullscreen. The photos are read in your browser and never uploaded.Drag image files onto the drop area or press Browse Files and select several at once. They are read from your own device into the browser’s memory and listed with a thumbnail; ✕ removes one, Clear All Photos removes them all.
Drag Duration from 2 to 30 seconds per photo (5 by default). Turn on Shuffle (or press S) to mix the order; it is applied when the slideshow starts.
Transition: Fade, Ken Burns (a slow 8-second zoom and pan), Slide or Zoom. Filter: None, Sepia, Black & White, Vintage or Warm.
Press Start Slideshow or Space. The counter shows which photo is on screen; ← and → step back and forward, and Space pauses and resumes.
Press Fullscreen, click the slideshow or press F. Press Esc or F again to leave. While the slideshow plays, the page asks the browser to keep the screen on (Screen Wake Lock); pause or stop it and the screen can sleep again.

Photo slideshow screensaver & digital photo frame, explained
This page turns photos from your own phone, laptop or memory card into a fullscreen slideshow that runs like a screensaver: pick the photos, a transition and a display time, press play and go fullscreen. It works in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iPadOS, needs no account or install, and never sends the photos anywhere.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The photos come only from files you choose or drop from your own device. The page reads them with the browser’s FileReader API and keeps them in memory; it makes no network request with them and has no server to send them to. The page itself does load a font and a cookie-free page-view counter (Simple Analytics), but neither ever sees your photos. Once the page has loaded, the slideshow keeps working without an internet connection.
What image formats are supported?
Any image file your browser can display: JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP everywhere, and formats such as AVIF where the browser supports them. HEIC photos from iPhones only show in browsers that can decode HEIC, such as Safari; elsewhere, convert them first with the free HEIC to JPG converter. Files that are not images are ignored.
How many photos can I add?
The page sets no limit. Every photo is held in your browser’s memory at full size, so very large collections or very high-resolution images can make an older device or tablet slow; if that happens, use fewer or smaller photos.
How do I turn a TV, old tablet or laptop into a digital photo frame?
Open this page on the device, add your photos, choose a longer Duration (10–30 seconds) and the Ken Burns transition for a calm frame, press Start Slideshow and go fullscreen with F or a click. Keep the device plugged in. While the slideshow plays, the page uses the browser’s Screen Wake Lock so the display does not dim or sleep; browsers without it (and some battery-saver modes) may still turn the screen off, so set the sleep timer to Never there. To show it on a TV, open the page in the TV’s own browser, connect a laptop with HDMI, or cast the browser tab (Chrome “Cast”, or AirPlay screen mirroring from a Mac or iPad).
Photo slideshow vs the Windows and macOS screensaver
Windows and macOS can show a folder of photos as their own screensaver (Windows: Screen saver settings → Photos; macOS: System Settings → Screen Saver), which starts by itself when the computer is idle. This page does not replace that: it runs only while the tab is open. It is the quicker choice when you want a slideshow right now on a device you do not want to configure, on a TV or a borrowed computer, with Ken Burns movement and filters, and without copying your photos into a system folder or a cloud album.
What is the Ken Burns effect?
The Ken Burns effect is a slow zoom and pan across a still photo, named after the American documentary maker Ken Burns, who used it to bring archive photographs to life. Here it moves each photo over 8 seconds, so it looks best with a Duration of about 8 seconds or longer. Portraits and group photos work well; very small images can look soft when zoomed.
Which photo sizes look best?
Photos are scaled to fit the screen without cropping, so nothing is cut off. A photo with the same shape as the screen fills it completely (16:9 for most TVs and monitors, 4:3 for many tablets); other shapes get dark bars at the sides or at the top and bottom. Resolution matters less than you might think: a 1920×1080 image is enough for a Full HD screen, and resizing very large camera files with the bulk image resizer keeps an older tablet smooth.
Do my photos stay after I close the browser?
No. The photos are only held in browser memory for the current tab. Reloading or closing the tab clears them, and nothing is saved, so add them again next time.
