PicturePresenter

Picture Presenter shows your photos on a projector, TV or monitor connected via HDMI or AirPlay โ 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 โ 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 โข Browse your library, your own albums and favorites โข Fullscreen viewer just like the Photos app: swipe to flip through, every picture appears instantly on the big display โข Fit (whole picture visible) or fill (edge to edge, cropped) โข Choose the matte color for bars: black, white or gray โข Slideshow with configurable duration per picture and transition โ true crossfade or push โข Info view with capture details (date, location, camera, exposure, resolution) โ optionally as an overlay on the big picture โข Quick collection: tap pictures in selection mode to assemble your own presentation set โ stored across launches โข iCloud photos are downloaded automatically at full resolution when needed, with a progress bar CONNECTION & REQUIREMENTS โข iOS 17 or later โข USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode): iPhone 15 and later โ native signal, up to 4K depending on device โข Lightning: Apple Digital AV Adapter โ up to 1080p โข 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.
