Here’s Why You Need a Digital Photo Frame
Have you ever been sitting down for a family get-together, only to remember uncle Bob couldn’t make it as he’s stuck at home for a 2-week quarantine? A digital photo frame could bridge that gap. Through a web album feature, you just need to snap a quick picture of the family together and load it into a linked Facebook photo album. Every connected frame will be able to view the photo within a few minutes – even that cousin that moved to Australia last year.
Digital picture frames have made connecting and sharing precious memories with your loved ones easier than ever before. You can use the mobile app to send multimedia (photos, videos, and audio) to multiple frames at the same time.
Intuitive web interfaces let you remotely control connected frames, and gives you a familiar place to handle cloud storage and its related features. Digital picture frames are incredibly versatile and well worth the short learning curve they require.
You’ll never be more than a few clicks or presses for the people you care about most. You’re always just a few moments from sharing a special memory or photo that you and the family can reminisce over for years to come.
Once you get a digital picture frame, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how quickly it becomes an important part of the family and home life. Imagine sitting huddled around the frame after dinner, laughing over memories from that trip to Spain you wish you could go on again – or that night of competitive charades you deserved to win. Enhance how you connect with your loved ones, bring precious memories back to life, and live in the moment – get a digital photo frame!
How do I send photos to my digital photo frame?
The most common method for sending photos to a digital picture frame is via email. You simply need to add the pictures as an attachment and send the email to the frame’s dedicated and unique email address.
Using the mobile app to send pictures, videos, and audio to a digital photo frame is arguably the most versatile and capable of the lot. You can natively capture media directly inside the app, or select media you’ve captured in the past in your phone’s media gallery. You can then send all these photos/videos/audios to your frame – or multiple frames at the same time.
Other ways of getting photos onto your frame include linking them to your photo albums on your favorite social media and photo-sharing platforms. Alternatively, some digital photo frames provide ways to send pictures to you through the web interface.
Finally, the only offline method involved loading your photos onto a USB/SD card, inserting them into your frame’s relevant port, and viewing them directly on the frame. Note that you might need to copy the pictures across to the frame’s internal storage before being able to view them.
How long do digital photo frames last?
Digital picture frames are meant to be able to display the same static image for 1,000 hours without damaging the LCD or suffering from screen burn-in. That being said, this number can vary wildly depending on the quality of the digital photo frame you buy, the type and quality of the display, the brightness level, and other factors. This shouldn’t be a major concern as you’ll rarely have the same image display for that length of time – as it defeats the purpose of having a “digital” picture frame.
Can digital photo frames connect to Wi-Fi?
Many modern digital picture frames are Wi-Fi capable. The extent of this capability varies greatly between brands, models, and frame types. For example, the Pix-Star digital photo frame features full Wi-Fi connectivity and cloud compatibility. This enables the email-in function, the use of the mobile app and the web interface, cloud storage, remote control, and much more.
On the other hand, many low to mid-range digital picture frames are offline and can only receive photos via USB/SD cards. These are arguably the more common type, though Wi-Fi digital photo frames are quickly rising in popularity.
Do digital photo frames play videos?
Multimedia playback (still images, videos, and audio) is not a widely supported feature. Many of the top digital frames allow playback according to different limitations. For example, Pix-Star’s frames let you play videos that are shorter than 2-minutes. Other top frames charge a subscription fee to unlock video playback (though they’re still limited in terms of length, format, and file size).
What is the best aspect ratio on a digital picture frame?
Aspect ratio is an extremely important but unfortunately often overlooked feature. In our opinion, the best aspect ratio is 4:3. This suits a mix of both video and photo playback while offering the most versatility and suitability to photos sent from a mix of different sources. Most of our smartphones shoot in 4:3, whereas many DLSRs capture 3:2. You’ll get a far better match displaying a 3:2 picture on a 4:3 screen than you would by displaying it on a 16:9 display.
You’ll find that with 16:9 (most common type) and 16:10 displays, most of your pictures won’t fill up the whole screen. They’ll often be surrounded by black boxes or will have to be auto-cropped/stretched to fit the display.
