A gallery for every screen you own.
FrameSaver turns a blank screen into a rotating gallery of curated photography — drawn from the public domain and openly-licensed collections at the Smithsonian and Wikimedia Commons.
Most screensavers today are either corporate logos or stale slideshows of your own photos. FrameSaver treats the wall behind your TV — or the lid of your laptop, or the lock screen of your phone — as a place worth filling with something better.
No ads. No tracking pixels. No subscription. Just photography that earns the space it occupies.
Why open access?
The Smithsonian released 4.4 million images into the public domain in 2020. Wikimedia Commons hosts tens of millions more photographs, artworks, and historical images under open licenses. This is some of the most remarkable imagery humanity has produced, and it belongs to everyone.
FrameSaver is a thin layer of curation on top of those collections — picking photos with the right aspect ratio, quality, and legal clarity for a screen on your wall.
Who's behind it
FrameSaver is built by Eric Friedman. Questions, feature requests, and bug reports welcome at ericfriedman@gmail.com.
Curated from the public domain.
Every photograph comes from an institution that has opened its collection to the world.
