A touchscreen digital picture frame that lets family send photos to your shelf almost instantly, from anywhere in the world. Setup takes ten minutes or less, and the bright display looks right at home in any room.
Design and everyday use

Built to look good and stay simple

A bright touchscreen display

The 10-inch 1280x800 IPS screen renders each photo crisply from across the room, and the thin 12 x 8.5 x 0.9 inch body sits on a shelf without taking over the space.

Simple enough for every age

There are no menus to learn. Family members of any age can tap to browse and use the Heart button to love a photo, which keeps the frame inviting for kids and grandparents alike.

Room for thousands of photos

8GB of storage holds up to 8,000 photos in JPEG, BMP, PNG or GIF, so years of family pictures can live on the frame instead of a phone.

Set up in ten minutes or less

New photos arrive in under 60 seconds, it ships in 1-2 business days, and a 4-month free return window gives your household time to decide.

What the Frame gives your household

Photos stop sitting in a phone camera roll and start appearing where the family actually gathers. Loved ones send a picture and it shows up on the shelf in under a minute, so distance feels smaller and everyday moments stay visible.

Before you decide

Common questions about the Frame

How fast do photos from family actually show up on the frame?
Photos arrive in under 60 seconds in most cases, so a picture taken this morning can be on a shelf across the country by breakfast. Delivery depends on a stable Wi-Fi connection at the frame.
Setup takes about ten minutes or less. You connect the frame to Wi-Fi, follow the on-screen prompts, and send an invite link so family can start sending photos right away.
The frame accepts JPEG, BMP, PNG and GIF files, which covers what phones and cameras produce. Photos load straight from a phone, and no printing or file converting is involved.
8GB of storage holds up to 8,000 photos, which is years of everyday snapshots for most households. Older pictures stay on the frame and mix in with new arrivals, keeping long memories visible.
There is very little to learn. The touchscreen responds to simple taps, and the Heart button lets anyone love a photo without opening an app or finding a menu. That matters when kids and grandparents share one screen.
Orders typically ship in 1 to 2 business days, and the frame comes with 4 months of free returns, so your household has real time to decide whether it earns its spot on the shelf.
