A Simple Digital Picture Frame
A lightweight software bundle to show off your snaps. Built for Raspberry Pi.
Photo Frames Suck
Many off-the-shelf frames disappoint. One ceased updating its app, breaking Google integration. Another couldn't select entire albums, forcing manual refreshes. Most require extra apps with excessive permissions.
But…
InstaPi Rocks
InstaPi is a lightweight Python/HTML/CSS application connected with Google Photos and iCloud. Sign in using QR codes, and a browser to select photos. Albums are optionally synchronized once per day, ensuring you always get the latest photos on your device. InstaPi collects no data on users, and does not require any additional 3rd party apps
More Proof
The Best Features
Most photos are taken on phones, and stored in Google or iCloud. InstaPi connects directly to your library, and synchronizes albums so you always see fresh photos.
Nothing More
InstaPi is open source. You can download the code, tailor it to your needs, contribute, and join a thriving community of DIY enthusiasts.
Absolutely Free
InstaPi was born from frustrating Amazon experiences with bloatware, broken integrations and obvious missing features. InstaPi does what it needs, does it well, and no more.
