- Digital picture frames come in a variety of colors and designs. Some offer changeable face plates to offer a wood grain appearance, shiny modern black appearance, or a metallic appearance. Many bright colors are also available. Digital picture frames also range in size, with the most common displaying images in a 4-by-6 inch or 5-by-7 inch size.
- Digital picture frames offer many different features. Many have a variety of transitions for fading from one photo to the next. Some frames play music, and some can rearrange the sequence order of photos. Some high-end models offer a remote control to operate the frame, and accommodate photo editing, such as cropping or changing a color image to black and white. Many styles also can organize photos into different folders, to make it easy to view specific groupings of photos.
- Some digital picture frames offer internal storage for photos uploaded directly to the unit, while many have slots for digital media cards pre-loaded with photos. Digital camera users can remove the media cards from their cameras, and place them in the digital frame to view their photos as a slide show. Images can also be loaded from a computer onto the media card, which is then inserted into the frame for viewing.
- Digital picture frames are a great option for someone who has limited space to display photos, or who wants to show a specific series of photos. Digital photo frames are a fun option for someone staying in a hospital room, assisted living facility or other limited space. Because new photos can easily be loaded onto the frame by inserting a new media card, it is easy to provide a fresh slide show often.
- Horizontal photos are the best images to display on a digital picture frame. Vertical images are often shrunk or cropped, or sometimes won't display at all, depending on the model frame you choose.
