Because of the excellent cameras in smartphones, it's easier than ever to build a big photo collection of family, friends, and other fond memories. If you're looking for a way to display your favorite photos in your home, consider going digital. We've been testing digital picture frames since 2006, so we know what to look for. These are our top picks for frames, along with other devices like smart displays and TVs that can show off your photos. We've tested every product on this list, analyzing how good they look, how well they work, and how easy they are to use. The best choice for you will depend on your needs and budget, but the Aura Mason is our top pick for its gorgeous matte finish, which gives the impression of a well-lit printed photo rather than a screen.

Other Ways to Display Digital Photos

Smart Displays

Smart displays combine all of the voice control functionality you get from smart speakers 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.

The Amazon Echo Show 15 and Echo Show 21 really stand out here because they look like digital picture frames, not smart devices. They have picture-frame-like designs and are primarily meant for hanging on the wall.

Tablets

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

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 and the TCL NXTFRAME stand out among these choices because of their modular, picture frame-like bezels and matte screens.
