If you’re like us and you’ve got a thousand photos on your phones and online drives that have never seen the light of day, and you want to relive those memories, you may want to get the PICPAK mini electronic album.
It’s a delightful bridge between the digital and the physical—a pocket-sized E-ink display that brings your most cherished memories and dynamic content to life. Created by AutoHeart, this innovative mini e-ink album has already raised over $391,000 on Kickstarter, far exceeding its $5,000 goal with thousands of backers.
PICPAK isn’t just a digital photo frame; it’s a portable “memory capsule” that uses a high-contrast E-ink screen to display your favorite photos with a paper-like aesthetic that is easy on the eyes and visible even in direct sunlight. The device measures a compact 3.9 x 3.6 x 0.24 inches, making it incredibly portable and versatile for any space.
What truly sets PICPAK apart is its remarkable battery efficiency. Thanks to the ultra-low-power E Ink screen, the battery lasts for more than one year on a single charge, engineered for a truly “set it and forget it” experience. Because E-ink technology requires power only when the image changes, your favorite moment stays on the screen indefinitely without draining a battery. The device can store 500 to 600 pictures internally, creating a dedicated pocket album for your favorite memories.
Beyond personal photos, the e-ink screen’s potential extends to curated feeds including memes, news headlines, motivational quotes, and weather, with content refreshing quietly without interrupting your day. Voice memos recorded in the app can accompany photos as reminders or messages, turning PICPAK into a living canvas that adapts to your needs.
The pricing is reasonable for early backers at $49 for one versus a likely $69+ retail price. With its wireless connectivity, magnetic attachment options, and distraction-free design, PICPAK offers a compelling solution for anyone tired of buried photo libraries and seeking a tangible way to enjoy their digital memories daily.
