PiFi for Pi 4/5 (April 2026 -Updated Image for Pi Imager)

We’ve updated the PiFi image to resolve a recent flashing issue affecting newer versions of Raspberry Pi Imager.

Some users experienced failures during install due to a strict image size alignment requirement (512-byte boundary). This has now been corrected.

You should now be able to flash PiFi as normal using the latest Raspberry Pi Imager with no additional steps.

If you previously ran into issues, simply download the updated image and try again.
