Whether you’re sharing photos from a recent trip or traveling down memory lane, it’s hard to do your pictures justice on your smartphone or camera’s small screen. So why not take advantage of the big screen you already have – your TV?

I've been exploring the options for sharing photos on your TV for more than 10 years, and it has kept getting easier as more manufacturers and devices now include these features natively. In fact, there's a very good chance you already have everything you need to start viewing your pictures and videos on your TV. Here are the options that should work for most people.

1. Use your phone to cast to your TV

The easiest way to cast your photos to your TV is to use the casting functionality that's built into your phone. For iPhone owners, that's the most recent version of AirPlay, AirPlay 2. Most TV manufacturers started building AirPlay 2 into their products in 2018 or 2019. You can check for your model on Apple's list of AirPlay 2-enabled TVs and streaming devices.

To use AirPlay:

  1. Make sure your iPhone and TV are connected to the same WiFi network.
  2. Open the Control Center. (For iPhone X or later, swipe down from the upper-right corner. For iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.)
  3. Select Screen Mirroring (the two rectangles).
  4. Select your TV from the AirPlay devices available on your WiFi network.

For Android owners, the built-in casting technology depends on the manufacturer. Below, you'll find instructions on how to cast to the major manufacturers TVs with Android or iOS (for non-Airplay models).

How to cast photos to a Samsung TV

If you have an iPhone and a 2018 or newer model Samsung TV, check to see if your TV supports AirPlay 2. Samsung also supports casting through its SmartThings app for many 2018 and newer Samsung TVs. Once you add your TV to the SmartThings app under Devices > Add devices, you can select "Smart View" to mirror your phone. If your Samsung TV doesn't support AirPlay 2 or SmartThings, I recommend using an HDMI cable or streaming device, as outlined below.

If you have a Samsung phone, you can use "Screen Mirroring" to cast photos to your Samsung TV. First, you'll need to turn on screen mirroring. For older TV models, you'll press the "Source" button on your remote and then select "Screen Mirroring" as the source. For newer TV model, you'll press "Menu" on the remote then Network > Screen Mirroring. For the most recent models, you'll go to "Settings," select General > External Device Manager > Device Connection Manager > Device List. Once you have screen mirroring turned on, you then activate screen mirroring on your Samsung phone. Pull down from the top of the screen and select "Smart View" or "Quick Connect," depending on your phone model. Select your TV from the available devices and, if prompted, enter the verification code.

If you have a non-Samsung Android phone and a 2018 or newer model Samsung TV, download the SmartThings app. Once you add your TV to the SmartThings app under Devices > Add devices, you can select "Smart View" to mirror your phone.

[Editor's note: Samsung's website refers to the Samsung Smart View app as the way to view photos on your TV. However, Samsung recently removed the Smart View app from the Apple App Store and Google Play, so follow my instructions above.]

How to cast photos to a TCL TV

Most TCL TVs have Roku streaming technology built-in. If you have an iPhone, TCL Roku TVs support AirPlay.

TCL also has TVs with Android TV or Google TV built-in. For Android phones, you can open the Google Home app, select your TCL Android TV and then select "Cast my screen." For iPhones, TCL Google TV models support AirPlay.

How to cast photos to an LG TV

If you have an iPhone and a 2019 or new model LG TV, check to see if your TV supports AirPlay 2. If your LG TV doesn't support AirPlay 2, I recommend using an HDMI cable or streaming device, as outlined below.

If you have an Android phone, your phone's built-in screen sharing should enable you to cast your photos to your LG TV. For LG phones go to Settings > Share and Connect > Screen Sharing or Mirror Screen. For other Android phones, go into your phone's Settings menu and find the screen sharing feature, which may be called "cast," "Smart View," "Quick Connect," "SmartShare," or "mirroring. Select your LG TV from the list of available devices and confirm that you want to cast on your TV with your TV remote.

[Editor's Note: LG recommends using the LG Screen Share app to view your photos on your TV. However, the app has been removed from Apple App Store and Google Play, so follow my instructions above.]

How to cast photos to a Vizio TV

If you have a 2018 or newer Vizio TV, it likely will have either Roku or SmartCast OS, which incorporates Chromecast, built-in. If your TV has SmartCast OS, you can cast your photos with your phone from any app that supports casting, including the Google Photos app for iPhones and Android phones. Just select the cast button in the upper right corner (a rectangle with three curved lines) to begin casting. Select your Vizio TV from the list of available devices and confirm that you want to cast on your TV with your TV remote.

For iPhone owners with a 2018 or new Vizio TV, check to see if your TV supports AirPlay 2.

How to cast photos to a Sony TV

If you have a 2015 or newer Sony TV, it will like have Android TV or Google TV built-in. That means you can cast your photos from any app on your phone that supports casting, including the Google Photos app for Android phones and iPhones. Select a photo in the Google Photos app and the tap the cast button in the upper right corner (a rectangle with three curved lines) to begin casting. Select your Chromecast device from among the available devices and your photo will appear on your TV. Your TV will mirror your phone as you navigate the app.

For iPhone owners with a 2018 or new Sony TV, check to see if your TV supports AirPlay 2.

2. Use your phone to connect to your streaming media player

How to cast photos to Roku player

For iPhones, you can use AirPlay to cast photos to the Roku device attached to your TV. For Android phones, you can use screen mirroring to show your photos. Go into your phone's Settings menu and find the screen sharing feature, which may be called "cast," "Smart View," "Quick Connect," "SmartShare," or "mirroring." Once you enable screen mirroring, you'll see your Roku player show up as a device to mirror your phone's display.

Another option is to upload photos to your Roku account and use the Roku Photo Streams app to view your photos. Once you've set up the app, you can create a Stream, which is a photo album of up to 100 photos. The photos are stores on Roku's servers and you can share your photos with other Roku owners and collaborate on Streams.

How to cast photos to Chromecast

If you have a Chromecast device, you can cast your photos from the Google Photos app for Android phones and iPhones, as well as other apps that support casting. Select a photo and the tap the cast button in the upper right corner (a rectangle with three curved lines) to begin casting. Select your Chromecast device from among the available devices and your photo will appear on your TV. Your TV will mirror your phone as you navigate the app.

How to cast photos to Fire TV

To cast to your Fire TV device, download the AirScreen - AirPlay & Cast & Miracast & DLNA app (you'll find it in the Photos and Videos section of the app store). This will add AirPlay for use with iPhones and casting support for Android phones. To cast your photos, open the AirScreen app on your Fire TV device and then select the type of casting – AirPlay for iPhone, Cast for Google Pixel phone etc. Then on your phone, select AirPlay for iPhones or the option to cast in apps like Google Photos on Android phones, and look for AirScreen among the available devices. Once connected, your TV will mirror your phone.

You can also upload your photos to Amazon Photos through your computer, iPhone or Android phone, and view them through the Amazon Photos app on your Fire TV. You get 5GB of free storage with a regular Amazon account and unlimited storage for photos for Amazon Prime accounts.

How to cast photos to Apple TV

Apple TV has AirPlay built-in. For Android phones, you'll need to install a casting app. I like AllCast, which receives 3.8 stars in Google Play and has been downloaded more than 10 million times. Once you have the app installed, you select your Apple TV from the available devices to start casting.

3. Connect your phone to your TV with an HDMI cable

If you have an iPhone 5 or newer model, you can purchase a Lightning to HDMI adapter to plug your iPhone into your TV. Once you connect your iPhone, you'll be able to see whatever is on your iPhone's screen on your TV. You can purchase the Lightning to HDMI adapter for $36 on Amazon.

If you purchased an Android phone within the last few years, your phone will likely have a USB-C port. In that case, seeing your photos may be a simple matter of connecting your phone to your TV with a USB-C to HDMI cable. Check with your phone manufacturer to see if your smartphone supports HDMI output. I recommend the 6-foot Amazon Basics USB-C to HDMI cable, which sells for $12 and receives 4.4 stars from customers.

4. Use your phone or camera's memory card.

Many old TVs have an SD card reader. Pop the memory card out of your camera or Android phone and put it into the TV’s SD card reader. For phones, you’ll need a microSD-to-SD card adapter, like the SanDisk MicroSD MicroSDHC to SD SDHC Adapter that is available on Amazon for under $5. For most TVs, inserting an SD card will launch the photo viewer.

5. Use a USB cable or flash drive.

Take the USB cable that came with your camera and use it to connect the camera to your TV's USB port. If your photos and videos are stored on your computer, you can copy them onto a USB flash drive and then insert the drive into your TV's USB port. On most TVs, inserting the USB cable or flash drive will automatically launch the TV’s photo viewing app. From there, you can choose to view photos, videos or a combination of both. Manually scroll through or set your photos to music for a slideshow.

As you can see, there's no reason to make everyone crowd around a tiny display when it's so easy to share pictures on your big-screen TV.

Great Post but ...........

From Tony Scott on October 09, 2014 :: 3:06 am

This is wonderful & so easy to follow. However, I wish I could find a way to stream my media to my Smart TV from my Samsung Galaxy S5 micro SD card. So far all my attempts at this have failed & I can only access media on the phone’s internal memory.

Streaming Photos/Videos from Desktop/Laptop

From Mike Hixson on December 29, 2014 :: 4:59 pm

With my nice, but dumb, TV & ROKU 3 connected to receiver’s HDMI port, there’s a great program available through ROKU called ‘MY MEDIA’, which will stream your media, including your music playlists, photos and videos directly to the TV with hi-def sound and images.  Works great.

BTW, I was told that the Samsung Galaxy S5 wouldn’t stream directly to an HDMI port, without an optional special box and a power source for it, as there is no micro HDMI jack on the S5, unlike my previous Razr Maxx HD, which worked great.  Am I mistaken?

Reply

That's not true

From Josh Kirschner on December 30, 2014 :: 11:47 am

The Galaxy S5 uses MHL 2.1, which is basically HDMI plus power charging. But the power charging bit isn’t required, so you can use a standard microUSB to HDMI adapter or an MHL to HDMI adapter. I just double checked it with one of our Galaxy S5 hooked up to a Samsung TV and it worked fine.

Here is one cable option (plenty for under $10): micro-USB MHL to HDMI adapter. Note that you will need an 11-pin adapter, so verify that before you buy another model.

Thanks, Josh!

From Mike Hixson on December 30, 2014 :: 12:07 pm

Really appreciate the advice!  Nothing in the S5 manual, nor could anyone in 1 ATT or 2 Verizon stores help on this question.  And thanks for the cable link, too!

Floating Image from Android + Chromecast = Apple Floating Picture on your TV!!

From Al Winston on June 08, 2017 :: 11:33 am

For years I bought the 1st gen Apple TV for one reason: the floating picture screensaver.  It’s the only way to display multiple images in a kinetic and eye-catching way, and if you have thousands of images, the only way to see most of them (vs one picture at a time).  It was limited by the number of images it could ‘mine’ for viewing (a few hundred) but at least was high resolution.  However, NOW there is a much better option: Google chromecast plus a FREE android app called Floating Image, by a fellow named Mark somewhere in Denmark.  It mines thousands of images (I haven’t seen a limit yet) in hi res in a floating image way and looks fantastic on a large screen TV.  If it’s viewed on a large tablet, like the Galaxy View, the thumbnail images floating across can be tapped and they’ll zoom to full screen.  A second tap and it goes back to the floating image.  Thus far, this is the best way I’ve seen to display a library of thousands of digital images.

Incredible

From Jc on November 09, 2021 :: 6:59 am

how to orient pictures

From Steve Weflen on July 27, 2017 :: 2:53 pm

When I try to display pictures on my tv using a flash drive in the USB port, the tv re-orients the pictures such that I have to individually rotate them every time I display them.  Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Reply

The classic "Which way is my photo oriented?" problem

From Josh Kirschner on July 27, 2017 :: 5:19 pm

The issue is that there are two things that determine how a picture is oriented - 1)the actual data in the image and 2) the Exif metadata. So, for example, when you rotate your smartphone the picture is now stored sideways (orientation of sensor/lens stays the same), but the smartphone is smart enough to detect how you were holding your phone and applies a tag in the Exif data with the orientation. Some programs will look at the Exif data and orient the photo correctly for viewing, some will not.

Whether the Panasonic Viera is correctly reading the Exif data is hard to say - it may be ignoring the data or, perhaps, the device you took the photo with never tagged the photo with Exif data in the first place. You can verify this yourself by downloading a program that lets you view/edit image Exif data. If the Exif data is correct, there’s not much you can do to fix the Viera (assuming it’s using the latest firmware) - you will have to manually reorient and resave your photos for viewing on the TV. And when you do that, you will want to change the Exif data, too, or else programs that do read that data will reorient your photo, but now it will be sideways…

App or streaming device

From Josh Kirschner on April 23, 2019 :: 7:06 pm

Depending which model Sony TV you have, there may be an alternate app for photo watching. For example, newer Sony TVs run Android TV, so you could store your photos in Google Photo and cast them from your Android phone to your TV with Chromecast (https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6295590?co=GENIE.Platform=Android). If you don’t like that option, you can get a Roku or other streaming device and stream through on of those apps (see above). If you have an old Sony smart TV where apps are no longer being supported, this may not be a bad option.

Perhaps if I do it html, that might help
2) then I figured, well, I’ll d/l chrome, which is
how I use my gmail on computer….well it said my tv wasn’t set with “mme” or something or other? So I couldn’t d/l that…

This is like a 2014 Sony Bravia, its like a dumb-smart TV it seems…i.e. I tried d/l’ing the 4K Masters app….they (Sony) told me on phone I couldn’t….got me shaking my head!

Anyway, hate to be one but once again, help!!

Have you tried USB?

From Josh Kirschner on April 30, 2019 :: 11:53 am

It’s hard to troubleshoot this without actually being able to see the TV, especially since the 2014 models did not use Android TV. However, according to the relatively useless Sony TV manual, you should be able to play photos off USB from your TV. Have you tried copying your photos to a USB and then sticking it into the USB jack on your Sony?

If your photos are on a USB, there will either be a photo app on the TV you can use to access the photos or try switching your TV input settings to USB and see if it launches the app automatically,or at least allows you to browse through the photos with your remote.

Samsung "Unsupported Feature" error

You need to add an audio track

From Josh Kirschner on May 31, 2019 :: 2:50 pm

The issue is that when you save the video from PPT, there is no audio track. And Samsung views no audio as “unsupported” audio.

So the solution is to use a video editing tool to add an audio track to your MP4 file. It doesn’t matter what the audio is as long as you use one of the following audio codecs supported by Samsung TVs: AC-3, AC-4, LPCM, ADPCM (IMA, MS), AAC, HE-AAC, WMA, DD+, MPEG (MP3), MPEG-H G.711 (A-Law, µ-Law), Opus.

Let me know if that fixes your issue.

Thanks for the advice.  I will try it.  I have never used any video editing tools.  Can you recommend any that are free and easy to use.

So, I assume that I create the MP4 file with PPT as before, and I add the audio after the MP4 file is created?  Is this correct.

Thanks.

A couple suggestions

From Josh Kirschner on May 31, 2019 :: 3:57 pm

If you’re on Mac, you could just use iMovie. Certainly not the best out there, but free and realtively easy to use.

If you’re on Windows, Avidemux is a free, simple program that will do what you want. Else, take a look at Shotcut, which is a little more advanced.

And yes, just take your existing MP4, import it into the editing program and the add an audio track. The programs may even let you add a default blank audio track, but haven’t tried it so not sure.

Reply

Updated instructions

From Josh Kirschner on May 31, 2019 :: 4:12 pm

I checked and the process is even easier if you use a program like Shotcut (maybe same with the others). Just import your video and then export it File > Export using the default settings. It will add AAC encoding automatically - no need to mess around with a separate audio file.

Many (most/all) manufactures will let you change the speed of your slideshow through the menu options on your TV. The exact menu commands will vary by TV manufacturer. If you can’t figure it out from the menu, Google “[MANUFACTURER] TV slideshow speed” and you’ll probably find the solution.

It’s so frustrating as a blog reader to have to try and read an article with all of the advertisement noise and it has gotten so much worse over the years. I’m not mad at you monetizing your website, but if you can try to preview the ads before letting them onto your site, it would make for a much better reader experience. I’m sure you’ve experienced the same frustration as a reader.

ADS

Hi Lauren,

The Ads you see may be more to do with the browser you are using than the site you are visiting itself.
I use Brave for my browser; it is available as a free download online and blocks out pretty much all adds on every site, including youtube and facebook.

Best of luck.
