Digital photo frames are dedicated screens that run slideshows of pictures you either load directly onto the frame or access from the internet. They were popular for a while but started to fall out of fashion as social media became a more integral outlet for sharing photos. However, some nice, artsy digital frames remain on the market and still work well.
We don't review many dedicated digital frames these days, so we're highlighting some promising models here based on their features and price. We're also including a number of smart displays, tablets, and TVs we have reviewed, which make for much more versatile ways to view your digital photos.
Other Ways to Display Digital Photos

Voice assistants have come a long way. First, they appeared on smart speakers like the Amazon Echo. Then companies added a screen to the mix, creating smart displays. These countertop, desktop, and tabletop devices provide all of the voice control functionality you get from smart speakers, along with a colorful screen that can display additional media. That media includes photos, so you can turn any smart display into a digital photo frame simply by uploading photos to your favorite service and accessing them from there.

Your favorite tablet can serve as an excellent photo frame when it isn't in your hand. By getting a nice stand (or finding a tablet with a built-in stand), you can simply set it down on a desk to show off your photos when you're not using it.

TVs don't need to be dull black rectangles when they're not in use. Several feature low-power gallery modes that can display works of art or your photos when you aren't watching anything else. Turning your TV into a digital photo frame is as easy as linking a compatible photo service or plugging in a USB drive with your favorite pictures. Samsung's The Frame stands out among these choices because its modular bezel design makes it look like a framed painting.
