About
We believe your best
memories deserve the
biggest screens in the room.
Most people have thousands of photos on their phones and zero of them on their TVs. That gap — between a 65-inch screen that runs a generic screensaver and a life full of extraordinary moments — is what picnplay was built to close.
We built picnplay because setting up a photo slideshow for a family reunion should not require an HDMI cable, a laptop restart, and a PowerPoint. It should be: open a URL, share a code, pick photos, and watch them fill the room.
How it works
picnplay creates a private casting room — identified by a 6-character code — that links a display (your TV, projector, or any browser) with one or more senders (your phone, tablet, or laptop). Photos stream in real time. No app install. No account on the TV. Rooms expire after six hours and leave no trace.
The display side is intentionally frictionless: navigate to picnplay.com/display and a room code appears immediately — no login required. Only the person casting photos needs an account.
Privacy is the product
We only ever touch the photos you explicitly choose. With Google Photos you pick specific items in Google's own picker, and only those are loaded to your screen. We don't scan your library, we don't use your photos for training or advertising, and rooms leave no trace after they expire.
Plans
picnplay is live with a free tier and a Pro plan ($8.90/month). The free tier covers everything you need to get started — rooms, Google Photos casting, and basic albums. Pro adds extended storage, longer videos, advanced transitions, and more. A generous free tier will always exist.
