In development
Turn any screen into a photo slideshow.
Pixel Photo Slideshow is a photo slideshow and screen saver app for Android, visually aligned with first-party Google Pixel apps. There's no backend and no analytics — the only account involved is an optional, user-initiated Google Photos sign-in.

What it does
Your photos, everywhere you have a screen.
Pick photos from wherever they live, and let Pixel Photo Slideshow turn any phone or tablet into a slideshow.
Slideshow
Full-screen crossfade or Ken Burns pan-zoom, configurable duration, shuffle, optional file-name captions, and an adjustable dim overlay.
Manual or automatic
Start it yourself from the app, or enable Pixel Photo Slideshow as your Android screen saver and let the system start it automatically while charging, docked, or both.
Material 3 Expressive design
Light and dark mode, dynamic color with Material You, and rounded tonal surfaces throughout.
Privacy by design
No backend, no analytics, no crash-reporting SDKs. Local photo access is scoped to exactly what you pick — Google Photos access is opt-in and limited to the items you select each time.
Screenshots
A closer look at the app.
Screenshots are on the way.
Screenshots coming soon!
Real screenshots of the slideshow and settings screens will be added here shortly.
Design
Built to feel like a first-party Pixel app.
Pixel Photo Slideshow follows Material 3 Expressive — the same design language behind Google's own apps. Dynamic color, expressive shape, and a clean layout, in both light and dark themes.

Privacy
Privacy by default, not as an afterthought.
Nothing leaves your device unless you ask it to
Pixel Photo Slideshow doesn't need an internet connection to run local slideshows. There are no accounts required, no ad SDKs, and no crash or usage analytics. The only network activity is an optional, user-initiated Google Photos sign-in, which talks directly to Google's own OAuth and Photos Picker APIs — never to a server Pixel Photo Slideshow controls.
