- In this video I take you through the steps to achieving a wonderful Raspberry Pi photo frame. This is perfect for anyone looking to display their electronically stored pictures.

This project is pretty straightforward and won’t take you too long to be able to get it up and going. If you want to extend this further, I recommend taking a look at some pretty good designed frames that have been done in the past. If you have a 3D printer you will able to print your very own frame giving you a personalised good looking photo frame.
As you will probably notice I am using the official Pi touch screen. You can use just about any screen you can get your hands on. Just make sure you’re able to hook it up to the Raspberry Pi using the HDMI port, DSI or using a custom HAT on the GPIO pins.
The process of setting up the software is pretty easy. It involves disabling the screen blanking built into Raspbian and then installing a light image viewer package called feh.
If you want to simply just drag and drop images from your computer to the Pi, then be sure to check out the network attached storage tutorial. This is an easy way to manage which pictures you want to show and the ones that you don’t.
You will need to setup SSH to your Raspberry Pi photo frame as once it is in action you will no longer be able to control it. This is very important if you want to be able to make changes later on to either the slideshow program anything else on the Pi.
Hopefully by the end of the video you should have a fully working Raspberry Pi digital photo frame. If you do end up coming across any problems be sure to drop a comment below or over at pimylifeup.com. - Věda a technologie
Man this tutorial is a life saver. So many other tutorials that have you install magic mirror or java script or fbi to run the slideshow. I followed both this and the NAS tutorial and they worked flawlessly. Not only was this tutorial more concise than other ones but also more informational and at the right pace. And to top it all of it being 7 years old and still working is amazing. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
could you please update or create another tutorial on how to do this on a 4k TV/monitor? the rpi cannot handle 4k. only the Odroid C2 can but your tutorial doesnt work for the C2. thanks!
Great tutorial! I just finished my first pi project using this! However, I wonder if the folder I am using for my photos has gotten a bit too large. It's taking a long time to load it whenever I want to poke around in it. Is there a way to alter the script so that the slideshow draws from two or more different folders? Thanks!
Excellent tutorial
hello I am novice in the field how to have the rotation of the screen like yours because I do not find any help to these
Could you use this to make a clock which displays the time using photographs of numbers? Basically a new photograph displayed every 60 seconds.
Can it do a combination of video and picture?
Can show the pictures at the same time hooking up a video projector to the pi zero?
I would like to know is it possible to resize and run in a corner? Or if you can do that can you run more than one instance? I would like to have maybe two or three different pictures running at the same time. 31.5 inch screen
im having problems with either finding the correct folder or it recognising that folder.
How can one reduce the time delay between two pictures .. like if i want the next picture to be displayed in 3 sec
Hi I have a problem Feh Warning, couldnt load font t. attempting to fall back to fixed.
Feh Warning failed to even load fixed attempting to find any font. Suggestions please?
Nice way to display video also, But now that I got to the end of the video on setting this up, You say.. DO THIS first or you will not be able to make changes or control the pi. So why not make that disclaimer at the start so we don't end up locked out of the pi?
Anyone else have this problem as the ESC does nothing when prompted.
Is it possible to make a gif in that
good one can you make a video how to download photo from google drive and display on pi photo frame
Does anyone know if a way to do this but to be able to update the images remotely over the internet? Not from a local network. Maybe through a dropbox folder sync or something else?
I have a working prototype of this. I'm using the app telegram (similar to whatsapp) to "send" pictures from my phone to my Pi. It's a very ad-hoc solution, but it works and it's very easy to allow others to add photos too (just tell them the telegram username of your Pi and whitelist them). The Pi saves all photos it receives and displays them in a slide show. If you're interested I can dump the code on GitHub.
Do you know of a way to use laptop screens from broken laptops, as screens for the pi?
+tubejim101 You can find Laptop screen drivers from ebay and various other sites, you'll have to make sure the laptop screen driver has a hdmi connection for the pi. Check your laptop screen's serial number and enter that online to find the suitable driver. Note that not all Laptop screens have pre-made drivers so you might have to hack it yourself, I'm sure there are tutorials online for doing just that. GL!
Hello! Great tut, but unfortunatelly It doesn't work as I want. When I boot up my Raspberry, i see: ,,feh ERROR: Can't open X display. It *is* running, yeah?". GUI doesn't start and I have to type startx and then everythings work fine. Unfortunatelly I can't do it, becouse Raspberry will be in my school and the slideshow should start even when the GUI is turned off. Could you help me with that problem? ;-)
Ok. I've resolwed problem. Only one thing you have to do is delete ,,xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms" from ,,sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf". Then RPi will boot into the GUI, and automatic slideshow will run and everything will be ok. Only the disadventage is that the photos will change without animations.
I realise this is an old video. I have just followed the tutorial to the letter and can make all the steps work, however the slideshow does not start on boot. I'm assuming there has been a change in how this works in the last 8 years...
First! Great video!
I tried to put the pictures in the pictures folder on the pi and feh wouldn't run the script....
+Matt Nelson You need to change the "/media/NASHDD1/test/pictures") to "/home/pi/Pictures" no speech marks.
How much it cost you?
This SeatDefaults don't exist anymore in Raspbian 10 Buster
Не просто сделать фоторамку.
Your tutorial needs updating mate, a few errors.
eg.
sleep 10
sudo bash /home/pi/start-picture-frame.sh &
is incorrect in the written tutorial, instead you have.....
bash /home/start-picture-frame.sh &
how can we fix this?
