Picture Presenter shows your photos on a projector, TV or monitor connected via HDMI or AirPlay – filling the screen at native resolution, without the black bars of screen mirroring. THE PROBLEM When you plug an iPhone into a projector, iOS normally mirrors the screen: the entire 19.5:9 iPhone display is fitted onto the canvas, leaving black bars left and right and making your photo small. THE SOLUTION Picture Presenter takes over the external display with its own window. A 16:9 projector becomes a true 16:9 canvas, a 16:10 monitor a 16:10 canvas – always at the highest mode the display offers. Your iPhone stays the remote control: the big screen only ever shows the picture, never the controls. FEATURES • Browse your library, your own albums and favorites • Fullscreen viewer just like the Photos app: swipe to flip through, every picture appears instantly on the big display • Fit (whole picture visible) or fill (edge to edge, cropped) • Choose the matte color for bars: black, white or gray • Slideshow with configurable duration per picture and transition – true crossfade or push • Info view with capture details (date, location, camera, exposure, resolution) – optionally as an overlay on the big picture • Quick collection: tap pictures in selection mode to assemble your own presentation set – stored across launches • iCloud photos are downloaded automatically at full resolution when needed, with a progress bar CONNECTION & REQUIREMENTS • iOS 17 or later • USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode): iPhone 15 and later – native signal, up to 4K depending on device • Lightning: Apple Digital AV Adapter – up to 1080p • AirPlay: streaming to an Apple TV is supported as well The app owns the display while it is open; on the home screen iOS mirrors again. PRIVACY Your photos stay on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking, no data collection. NEW: APPLE WATCH REMOTE Browse from your wrist, start or pause your slideshow, and see a small preview of the next photo. The Digital Crown moves through photos in discrete steps. The companion requires watchOS 10 or later and the iPhone app to remain open; your iPhone continues to output the presentation.
