WIFI Digital Photo Frame without cloud

Hi all!

I am looking for aWIFI Digital Photo Frame which is not dependent on a cloud storage that I don’t know and don’t trust. So the device would either have lots of internal storage (at least 64GB)or storage can be added via SD cards or USB Sticks.

Ideally there would be an app that I can use to upload pictures to the device in my home WIFI but SFTP/Samba would also be ok.

Any recommendations?

edit: up to 200 EUR budget edit: at least 10 inch in size

Thanks a lot!

I’m using Synology Photos + Syno Photo Frame & a custom bash script to rotate photo albums on a Raspberry Pi 5.

The above is connected to a 4k monitor with USB C power delivery so it can all be toggled on/off by a standard switched outlet.

@Mercury1337 I ended up using a Raspberry Pi Zero, HDMI to LVDS adaptor, and a disused laptop screen.

Budget?

Up to 200 EUR - but not really the time to build something from scratch (like Raspi)

Which display size? How much storage?

At least 10 inch / 64 GB (or extendable via SD card / USB stick)

Do you have time to build something partially from scratch? I could see repurposing an old laptop, disassemble it and make the screen face outwards with the board affixed to the back of the screen lid.

Might take some creative routing with the internal display cable, but I’ve taken apart tons of laptops where this would be doable, especially after you’ve discarded the plastic chassis

Though you’ll still need a frame of some kind, unless you like the “raw-tech” look

Will a wifi SD card or adapter work? And then you can get any digital photo frame

I looked around awhile ago and didn’t really find anything good.

I think the best option is a raspberrypi and one of those 12-15" portable HDMI monitors.
