Old iPad.
New Life.
Turn any old iPad into a beautiful digital photo frame. Now with dynamic collages, a retro Polaroid look, and a gentle night mode that protects the screen.
Works on iPad running iPadOS 15.1 or later.
Don't retire it. Reframe it.
Most of us have an old iPad sitting in a drawer. Pad Frame gives that device a second life as a beautiful photo display, so instead of buying a new gadget or adding to e-waste, you get more from something you already own. Because Pad Frame runs all the way back to iPadOS 15.1, even quite old iPads qualify.
What Pad Frame does
Everything you need to turn a forgotten iPad into a living display.
Beautiful slideshow experience
Elegant transitions including Fade, Slide, and cinematic Ken Burns effects.
Dynamic Collage
The frame cycles through single, split, and grid layouts to keep things fresh.
Polaroid Frame
Give every photo a classic instant-film look with a white border and soft shadow.
Night Sleep
A smart overnight mode that dims to a gentle, drifting clock to protect older screens from burn-in.
Dynamic clock and weather
Show time, date, and real-time weather alongside your photos, readable even on bright images.
Works offline
Your photos stay on your device, no cloud connection required.
How it works
From drawer to display in three simple steps.
Plug in your old iPad
