Most photographers know the power of showing clients their photos on a big screen. But very few actually do it.

The reason? It seems complicated. Cables, adapters, display settings. It feels like a tech hassle.

The Reality: It Takes 5 Seconds

With an iPad and Portfoto, connecting an external display is plug and play.

  • Latest iPads with USB-C: plug in any USB-C to HDMI cable
  • iPads with Lightning: use a Lightning to HDMI adapter
  • Portfoto detects the external display automatically and switches to fullscreen

No settings, no configuration needed.

Where This Changes Your Business

At a Tourist Spot -- Set up a small table with your iPad connected to a portable monitor. Passersby see a beautiful slideshow on the monitor. They stop, they look, they want the same treatment. Your work sells itself.

At a Wedding Expo -- A 24-inch monitor on your booth running a Portfoto slideshow commands attention. While you talk to clients, the screen shows your best work on a loop.

In Your Studio -- Let customers preview their own photos on a wall-mounted monitor while they wait. They see their images looking their best, which builds excitement for upsells.

The Dual-QR Advantage

With Portfoto dual-QR feature, your external monitor can display: 1. A fullscreen slideshow of your work 2. Switch to payment QR when ready 3. Auto-switch to contact QR for follow-up

All QR codes display at full size on the external monitor, easy for customers to scan from a distance.
