Turn your TV into a birthday party photo slideshow.
Cast photos for a birthday party, graduation, wedding, or reunion directly from your laptop. Zero setup time — and why pay a monthly subscription fee when your party is only this weekend?

Multitask Friendly
Cast your photos to the smart TV in the background while you continue using your PC for music or managing the event.

Picture Wall Layouts
Choose from fullscreen fades or dynamic picture wall grid layouts — perfect for showing off dozens of party photos at once.
Background Music
Add local MP3 files to play as a soundtrack while your photos loop. No streaming service required.
Live Photo Updates
Drop new photos into the folder as the party happens. They appear on the TV automatically — no restart needed.
Common questions
Can guests add photos to the slideshow live?
Not directly through PictaCast, but you can set PictaCast to watch a shared folder (like a Dropbox or Google Drive sync folder). As guests add photos to the shared folder, PictaCast picks them up and adds them to the slideshow automatically.
How long does the 5-Day Event Pass last?
The 5-Day Event Pass ($4.99) gives you unlimited casting for 5 consecutive days from the moment you activate it. Perfect for a weekend party or multi-day celebration.
Does PictaCast work at outdoor venues?
Yes, as long as you have a TV and a Wi-Fi connection between your laptop and the TV. For outdoor setups without a router, create a mobile hotspot from your phone to connect both devices.
