About
Framio
A living museum for every screen — and a calm place to wander the open collections of the world.
Manifesto
Art belongs on the walls of the living.
Framio began with a simple want: beautiful art on my own television. The Samsung Frame turns a screen into a canvas, but filling it meant hunting for high-resolution public-domain images and cropping them by hand. So I built the tool I wished existed — and it grew past the one screen, into a living, interactive way to make art part of a day: on the TV, the phone, the tablet, the desk.
We never take credit for others' work. Every piece names its maker, and every file Framio exports carries the artist, museum, and license embedded inside it — so credit travels with the image wherever it goes.
Framio works only with art that is genuinely open — public domain or CC0, from museums' own programs. What the public funded and time returned to everyone belongs to everyone.
And access is the point, not an afterthought: open, community-written descriptions so art can be met without being seen, and an interface that works by remote, by touch, and by keyboard alike. If a person cannot experience the art, the museum isn't really open yet.
Open & free
Framio is open source under the MIT License. Use it, fork it, build on it — anyone can. The only rule is to keep the credit to the developer, Pedro Brito.
The artwork itself is open access — public domain or CC0 — sourced directly from the museums' own open-access programs, never scraped or repackaged. Framio shows only works it can source under open licenses; in-copyright pieces are surfaced for discovery, never for download. Are you a museum or gallery? Open your collection to Framio.
