PictoPocket - E-Ink Photo Magnet

Maker Faire Bay Area 2025

September 26th-28th

We are PictoPocket, a Maker duo (Engineer and Artist) from San Francisco. We wanted to design a beautiful way to take digital memories into the real world, and noticed existing digital photo frames look more like screens than art pieces.

Our flagship product- PictoPocket, is a cute photo magnet that users can easily “expose” unlimited new images from their phone with Bluetooth to the E-Paper display. It looks like paper and lasts years on a single coin cell battery.

We have come a long way since we first showcased our idea at MakerFaire 2023! Since then we've designed an injection molded case and improved the quality and reliability of the product, and apps for iOS and Android. We can't wait to share it with the maker community!
