How to Make All Pictures the Same Size for My Digital Picture Frame
A digital picture frame is an attractive way to display a large number of pictures and save space. However, if your pictures are not the correct size for the frame, they will appear distorted. Saving all your pictures to the same size before loading them to your digital frame will give your photo displays a uniform, consistent appearance.

Tips & Warnings
Most digital photo frames are horizontal. Using the template--the blank image you created--you can adjust even vertical photos to the correct size for displaying in the frame.
It is a good idea to save the resized photos in their own folder. You will be able to find them easily if you want to substitute new ones.
If you are using professional photos, always make sure you have the permission of the photographer before using them.
