Divoom App Guide: Download, Connect and Create Pixel Art

Written by Divoom Editorial Team June 29, 2026 10 min read

The Divoom app is the mobile control hub for compatible Divoom pixel displays and speaker displays. Start by installing it from the Apple App Store or Google Play, then follow the connection path for your exact model.

The DitooPro hands-on video below demonstrates a complete real session: phone Bluetooth audio is connected first, the device is added in the app, gallery art is sent to the screen, and controls such as brightness, Design, Animation, Text Editor, and Pixel Coloring are opened. Treat those menus as a practical example, because functions can differ by product and app version.

What is the Divoom app?

The Divoom app is the creative hub for compatible Divoom devices. Depending on the product you use, it can help you browse pixel art, make your own designs, set clock faces, choose animations, display small information widgets, and manage the visual personality of your screen.

The easiest way to think about it is this: the hardware gives you the screen, speaker, or display shape; the app gives you the content and controls. That matters because a Divoom product is rarely just a static screen. It can become a desk clock, a pixel art canvas, a small information display, a photo frame, or a room accent depending on how you set it up.

Where to download the Divoom app

For most users, the safest starting point is the official app listing for your phone:

Verify the path: Use the current store and standards references when phone menus, permissions, or compatibility have changed: Bluetooth SIG's technology overview Bluetooth background reference.

If you see searches for a PC, Windows, or Mac version, treat them as a sign that people want a bigger-screen setup workflow. For everyday setup, though, start with the mobile app and your specific product instructions. Avoid random download mirrors unless Divoom points you there directly.

What can you do with the Divoom app?

Create and display pixel art

Pixel art is one of the biggest reasons people use Divoom products. With the app, you can browse designs, customize your own artwork, and put animations on compatible Divoom screens. This is especially useful if you want a gaming room display, creator background, streaming desk accent, or a small screen that changes with your mood.

Set clocks, widgets, and visual information

On products built for information display, the app can help you turn a screen into more than decoration. You can use it for clock faces, weather-style displays, calendars, reminders, and other small visual widgets depending on the device. This is the difference between a simple LED display and a screen that feels alive on your desk.

Upload photos and videos on supported displays

Some Divoom products are better for personal photos and videos than others. If you want a display that feels closer to a smart photo frame, look at products designed around photo and video playback instead of choosing a pure pixel art screen. The app helps bridge that gap by letting you manage the content from your phone.

Build a desk setup around your style

The app also matters because Divoom products are visual objects. A screen on your desk is not only about information; it also changes the feel of the space. You can make it playful, minimal, retro, pixel-heavy, or more like a small smart dashboard.

Which Divoom product fits your app use case?

The right Divoom product depends on what you want the app to control. These three products show the difference clearly.

Divoom Times Gate

Choose Times Gate if you want the app to control a desk display for clocks, widgets, live-style information, pixel animations, and a multi-screen dashboard feel.

Divoom Pixoo-64

Divoom Times Frame

Setup tips before you start

Start with your phone. Install the mobile app first, then follow the setup path for your specific Divoom product.
Know what you want the screen to do. Pixel art, widgets, photos, and videos point to different product choices.
Check your connection basics. If a WiFi product is not connecting, confirm your network, distance from the router, and product instructions before assuming the device is faulty.
Keep expectations product-specific. A pixel art display, a smart desk display, and a photo-style display do not all behave the same way.

A practical first session in the Divoom app

Add your device and confirm that the app can control it.
Try one ready-made clock face, animation, or community design before creating your own content.
Open the pixel-art editor or the photo-upload tool supported by your device and send one test item.
Configure only the widgets or alerts you will actually check, then adjust brightness and scheduling for the room.

This sequence separates connection problems from content problems and gives you a known working setup before you customize everything. The exact controls vary by device, so features such as photo upload, live widgets, alarms, and audio settings may not appear on every Divoom model.

Using Divoom with a PC, Windows, or Mac

The short answer: there is no official standalone Divoom app for Windows PC or Mac. For pixel art, device setup, widgets, clocks, and full customization, use the official Divoom mobile app for iPhone, iPad, or Android. A computer can still be useful in a Divoom workflow, but it has a narrower job than many search results imply.

Desktop task	Safe expectation	What still needs the mobile app
Bluetooth audio pairing	Speaker-style devices such as Ditoo-Pro or MiniToo can play desktop audio as a Bluetooth speaker.	Pixel screen control, animations, device settings, alarms, and app features.
Pixel art creation	You can design artwork on desktop software if you prefer a larger canvas, then move the finished file to your phone.	Applying the art to a Divoom device and using community/app features.
Support research	A computer is great for reading Divoom product manuals, guides, and troubleshooting pages.	Pairing and changing device behavior through official app controls.

Here is the important distinction: if your Divoom device includes a speaker, your Windows PC or Mac may see it as a Bluetooth audio device, which lets you play desktop audio through it. Bluetooth audio does not give the computer control over the pixel display. Screen art, animations, the app library, clocks, alarms, widgets, and device configuration still belong in the official mobile app. Treat the computer as an audio source or creative workbench, not the command center. Useful test: if the task changes what appears on the pixel screen, start in the Divoom mobile app.

Avoid treating any random “Divoom PC app” result as official. Be especially careful with APK mirror pages, emulator guides that promise full desktop control, copied-logo download pages, and community-built tools that ask for device or account access. If Divoom ever releases an official Windows or Mac app, the safest confirmation point will be Divoom’s own site or official app-store channels.

iPhone and Android pairing essentials

Start pairing inside the Divoom app. Selecting your device from the phone's system Bluetooth menu first is the most common cause of first-run connection errors. If you already did that, forget or unpair the device in system Bluetooth settings, then pair again from inside the app.
Grant the core permissions. The app needs Bluetooth or Nearby Devices access to find your device, and Local Network access for Wi-Fi setup on connected displays. Some older Android versions also request Location access as a system requirement for Bluetooth scanning. If you denied a permission, re-enable it under iPhone Settings > Divoom, or Android Settings > Apps > Divoom > Permissions.
Keep the device discoverable. A Divoom device connects to one active phone at a time during setup. If it does not appear in the scan, confirm it is powered on and fully booted, toggle Bluetooth off and back on, restart the app, and move the phone within 1–2 feet.
Update the app before pairing. Outdated app versions are a common cause of connection glitches, especially for returning owners adding a new device.

FAQ

Is the Divoom app free?

Yes, the Divoom app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play. There is no cost to install the app, browse the community gallery, create pixel art, or control your compatible Divoom device. Some product features can vary by device, so check your product page and app listing when you set up your display.

Does the Divoom app work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, the Divoom app has listings for iPhone through the App Store and for Android through Google Play. Use those official store pages as your first download path.

Is there a Divoom app for PC or MAC?

No, there is no official standalone PC or Mac app for full device control. A computer can still help as a Bluetooth audio source for speaker-style models, for pixel-art prep on a larger screen, and for reading manuals and guides. See the PC, Windows, and Mac section above for the full breakdown.

Why is my Divoom device not connecting to WiFi?

Start with the simple checks: confirm the product supports WiFi setup, keep the device close to your router during setup, follow the app prompts for your specific model, and restart the setup flow if the device does not appear. If the issue continues, use the product manual or Divoom support path for that model.

Which Divoom product should I choose if I mainly want to use the app?

Choose Times Gate for widgets and desk information, Pixoo-64 for larger pixel art and animations, and Times Frame for photos, videos, clocks, and a smart-display feel. The best choice depends on what you want to see on the screen every day.

Can I control multiple Divoom devices from one app?

Yes. The Divoom app supports managing multiple compatible devices from a single free account. You can switch between models such as Times Gate, Times Frame, and Ditoo-Pro without installing separate apps or logging in and out.

Do Divoom Wi-Fi displays need a 2.4 GHz network?

Wi-Fi models such as Times Gate and Times Frame set up over a 2.4 GHz network, so 5 GHz-only networks may not appear during setup. Pixoo-64 II supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Check the product manual for the exact requirements of your model.

Can I set up my Divoom device again on a new phone?

Yes. Install the official Divoom app on the new phone, log in to your existing account, and pair the device again through the in-app flow. If discovery fails, make sure the device is not still connected to the old phone nearby.
