Why buy a $200 digital frame when you own a TV?
Aura, Skylight, and similar digital photo frames are beautiful — but they cost $150–$300 and many charge monthly subscription fees. PictaCast turns your existing TV into the same thing, for a fraction of the price.
Also looking to replace Plex Photos or a bloated media server? PictaCast has you casting a folder of images to your TV in under a minute — no server setup, no library indexing, no accounts.
