Turn your iPad into a photo frame for the moments you want to see every day. FotoFrame brings your photos out of the library and into your home. Choose your favorite albums, set the pace, and enjoy a full-screen slideshow on a desk, shelf, or bedside table. YOUR PHOTOS, YOUR WAY Choose from your Photos library, personal albums, and iCloud Shared Albums, or select image folders through Files. Combine sources into one rotation. As Photos makes new images available in your selected albums, FotoFrame refreshes the slideshow while it runs. MAKE EVERY PHOTO FEEL AT HOME Display photos in portrait or landscape. Fit the whole image, fill the screen, or add gentle pan and Ken Burns movement. Choose transitions and timing to suit your photos and your space. KEEP THE MEMORIES MOVING Shuffle your collection or follow album or chronological order. FotoFrame remembers your shuffle progress between sessions, and new photos join the remaining rotation. ADD A LITTLE CONTEXT Show a clock, today's date, or a photo's date. Optional location labels use available photo GPS metadata to show a town or region. Missing metadata stays out of the way. SET YOUR NIGHT HOURS Choose when the running frame dims to black at minimum brightness and when it resumes. Tap to wake it briefly during night hours. Scheduled dimming works while FotoFrame remains open; it does not lock or unlock the iPad. KEEP YOUR PHOTOS CLOSE FotoFrame does not upload your photos to SkulkWorks, show ads, or require a FotoFrame account. A local photo cache supports playback when your connection is unavailable, subject to available storage and subscription access. iCloud and Files providers handle their own downloads. Optional location labels send photo coordinates to Apple's geocoding service. SUBSCRIPTION FotoFrame is free to download.
