Admire your photos from 4k.

In every photo session, whether they're selfies or group pictures, you walk away with endless photos left behind. With a reliable digital picture frame, you don't have to choose favorites! It's the perfect way to store unforgettable moments and feel close to loved ones. While you may convince yourself you'll get your photos developed and framed, not every shot is going to land in a picture frame. Plus, with all of your preexisting wall art, your living room doesn't have space for another art gallery. Show off precious moments like your son's first steps or the time your dog made your bed their fortress—it's a thoughtful accessory for your work desk.

Your roommates won't go back and forth on which photo is best (someone always blinks at the wrong time) so there's peace in your household. A digital picture frame will keep a smile on your face no matter where your place it. You're one upload away from living like the Jetsons.

I gifted my mother this free-standing frame and she fell in love with it! Set up is pretty simple—there's a code for gift-givers to preload the frame with photos. She plugged in the frame and was able to scroll through our favorite pictures (I even added photos of my siblings to be fair).

Wi-Fi is required for the frame and you can change photos with a sleek touch bar. Plus, if your gift recipient loves social media, you can send heart emojis with each swipe. They are able to upload photos through

Here's another personal favorite for a completely different reason: The frame is literally a work of art. Through the canvas, you have direct access to a massive catalog of art (over 30,000 images), from new artists' work to classic masterpieces. The art actually looks like it was carefully painted onto your screen. Your guests will be entertained as you swipe with a flick of the wrist, voice control, or through the app meaning your screen remains smudge-free! It is Wi-Fi connected for photo-sharing as well so your family can feel like they're VIPs.

Poppy Simpson, Head of Content and Curation at Meural was motivated by the desire to make art a part of people's daily life. "The Meural is not in competition with your T.V. It's about displaying something that is in the moment meaningful and compliments how you are feeling," she explains.

If your day begins and ends with "Hey Google," the Nest Hub can be used to display an album that instantly adds new photos once you take them. Through your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection, you can play music behind your pictures to bring the images to life.

While Google can answer all of your questions, the interruptions from notifications and alarms can distract you from admiring your pictures. The hub can clash with the preexisting decor if you're looking for function and beauty.

Storage Usage: Whether you live in a tech-savvy household or planning to gift a digital picture frame to someone who isn't into the digital world, the best digital picture frame comes down to function and storage. If you have thousands of images stored on your phone, a frame with a large storage library should be the first thing you look for. Some frames have built-in storage, use the cloud, or a MicroSD card. This can also take up storage for frames that feature video-playing options in slideshows.

Accessibility: There are digital picture frames that function with a remote, solely touchscreen, or advanced enough to change photos with hand gestures. The majority of frames require Wi-Fi but there are a few that upload images without it. The connectivity allows you to determine whether you would like to have access to your images at all times and the compatibility with apps. User-friendly settings like motion sensors, a large screen (usually 8 to 15 inches), automatic photo rotation, and HD quality of the image make your overall experience with the frame easier and worthwhile.

How long do digital picture frames last?

The length varies by brand, but according to Pix-Star the majority of digital picture frames can function for about 1,000 hours. Some frames have energy-saving features to save your battery or the overall life of your gadget. Be sure to look at the warranty of your frame in case of technical difficulties for a replacement or bug fixes.
