CloudFrame TV

Your photos,
on the big screen.

CloudFrame TV turns your Roku into a photo screen for the room. Scan a QR code with your phone, pick a few photos, and watch them show up on the TV. No account, no app to install.

Built for the living room

All the controls you'd expect, set up in under a minute.

  • Scan and send

    The TV shows a QR code and a short pairing code. Scan it, pick a few photos from your own phone, and they show up on the TV in seconds.

  • No install, no sign-in

    It all happens in your phone's own browser. Nothing to download, no account to create, nothing left behind afterward.

  • Temporary by design

    Photos are deleted automatically the moment you leave the Cast screen — and always within the hour, even if you forget.

  • Your photos, nobody else's business

    Photos go straight from your phone to your TV, and then they're gone. No ads, no tracking, and we never keep copies anywhere.

How it works

Four steps, about a minute.

  1. Add CloudFrame TV to your Roku

    Add CloudFrame TV from the Roku Channel Store. It's free, and available on Roku in the United States. It lands on your Roku home screen a moment later.

  2. Open CloudFrame TV on your Roku

    The app shows a QR code and a short pairing code right on the TV.

    The CloudFrame TV channel tile: a sun setting over emerald ridges, with the CloudFrame TV wordmark and the tagline “photos on the big screen”.
    Look for this tile on your Roku home screen.

  3. Scan it with your phone

    It opens a page in your phone's own browser. Nothing to install, nothing to sign into.

  4. Pick photos and send

    Choose a few photos and they appear on the TV right away — and disappear again once you're done.

Why I built this

I was on vacation and we had just taken some group family photos. I had the photos on my phone, and I wanted to share them with my family on the TV. I had a Roku TV and a Pixel phone. It turned out there wasn’t an easy way to do it. I quickly discovered there’s no native screen mirroring from a Pixel phone to a Roku, so that was not an option. I searched for OneDrive Roku apps that could pull the images from that storage I use, but I came up empty. Ultimately, I ended up using Roku's own Backdrops functionality, but that only allowed me to upload one photo at a time. I then set out to make this easier, and CloudFrame TV is the result. - Jonathan
