How it works
Up and running
in 30 seconds.
Open on your display
Navigate to picnplay.com on any screen. A room code appears instantly. No login required on the TV.
Scan or share the code
Scan the QR on-screen with your phone, or type the 6-character code. Your phone and display link instantly.
Pick photos, watch them appear
Browse your Google Photos albums on your phone, select the photos you want to show, and they appear on the display within a second — full-screen, cinematic.
Features
Built to
disappear.
30-second setup
Open the URL on any screen. Share the 6-character code. You're live. No install, no account needed on the display.
Photos stay in Google
When casting from Google Photos, images stream directly from Google's CDN — they never pass through our servers. Optionally upload photos to your picnplay library for photos outside Google.
Any screen
TV, projector, laptop, tablet. If it has a browser it works — including Chromecast, AirPlay, and smart TVs.
Display mode
Full-screen cinematic slideshow with Ken Burns, crossfade, or slide. Adjustable timing, auto-advance.
Multi-sender rooms
Multiple people can add photos to the same room simultaneously. Everyone's shots. One shared display.
Built for any room
Birthdays, boardrooms, dissertation defenses, keynotes. Built to disappear so your content takes centre stage.
Privacy
Your photos.
Your privacy.
The trust bar for a photo app is high. We built a casting layer, not a storage layer — your memories don't belong on our servers.
Photos never leave Google
We connect to Google Photos using your read-only permission. Images stream directly from Google's CDN to your display — they never touch our servers for a millisecond.
Rooms auto-expire in 6 h
Every room code dies after 6 hours. Close the tab and it's gone. No lingering sessions, no persistent access, ever.
No ad tracking. No data sales.
We charge a fair subscription, not your attention. Your viewing history is never profiled, sold, or used for targeting.
Use cases

screen moment.
