All right, be honest. Are you tired of your photos and travel memories just sitting on your phone
0:04
Digital photo frames are an easy way to share and relive these memories instantly. I've tested
0:09
the best digital photo frames that you can buy at different price points and sizes that will make
0:14
your photos look great no matter where you display them. I've got a digital frame here for everyone
0:19
and I know these are going to be great gifts so you can find the best deals for everything linked
0:22
below. Our best overall pick, the Aura Aspen. The Aura Aspen is one of the newest digital photo
0:29
frames that we recommend. You're looking at a large 11.8 inch 1600 by 1200 screen for just $230
0:37
The Aura Aspen delivers images that are really crisp, vibrant, and its anti-glare screen also
0:41
lets you see these pictures from basically any viewing angle, which is especially important when
0:46
you're placing them in a very bright room. You can sync your photos easily with iCloud and Google
0:51
Photos, but if you want, you can also upload them directly via email, which is great for anyone who
0:56
doesn't want to deal with apps as much. But if I'm being honest, I actually enjoy using it for
1:01
keeping up with the latest photos from my family as they've added them over time. The Aspen even
1:06
supports 30-second video clips with sound if you want to mix things up. This is also super easy to
1:11
set up and control with touch bars on the top and side of the frame, so you're not touching the
1:15
touchscreen here and getting your grimy, oily fingerprints over this, which is another really
1:20
big plus. The Aspen is held up by a sturdy aluminum stand, which lets you switch from portrait to
1:25
landscape mode. Unfortunately, you cannot wall mount this. But besides that, this is the most
1:30
well digital photo frame for a lot of people For as low as when it on sale the Atatat digital photo frame offers excellent image quality on its 1080p 8 IPS display You can get this in 7 8 and 10 models Build quality and design
1:46
is definitely on the cheaper side, but if visuals are what you care about most and you want to stay
1:51
within a budget, this is one of the best picks under $50. This is pretty easy to set up and use
1:58
It's actually one of the only photo frames on our list that doesn't require any software or app
2:02
connectivity. You just plug in your memory card or a USB drive and the Atatat frame handles the
2:08
rest automatically playing your photos and media. This makes it perfect for less tech-savvy members
2:13
of your family. You can even play movies or view a calendar if you wanted those extra features
2:17
And then as far as controls, we have physical ones on the back and it also comes with a remote
2:22
control for Atatat convenience. Simple and affordable, the Atatat is great for when you
2:27
don't want to mess with apps. The Skylight Frame is the perfect Aura alternative for anyone who
2:33
wants a simple and no fuss way to display their photos, especially for grandparents or, again
2:38
less tech-savvy family members. It offers a 1280 by 800 display, Wi-Fi connectivity
2:44
touchscreen controls, and even video playback, all in a very easy-to-use package. The 10-inch
2:49
model, which I have here, is a great size, while the 15-inch larger version is also available if
2:54
you need that bigger display. Uploading and organizing photos is quick and easy from the
2:59
Skylight app or even via a custom Skylight email, which I think would be great, again
3:03
for those who don't want to mess with apps all the time. And thanks to its internal 8GB of storage
3:08
your images are always accessible, even without a Wi-Fi connection. Just know, there is a pricey
3:14
subscription for some of the in features like creating albums starting a slideshow remotely or changing some of the other on settings which is why this frame isn ranked higher on my list of
3:24
recommendations. Now, for a frame that balances excellent image quality with simplicity
3:30
the Skylight is a standout choice among digital photo frames. Then there is the massive Echo Show
3:37
21. The Echo Show 21 is our best big digital photo frame and probably one of my favorite overall
3:44
pics, let me tell you why. Now, this probably isn't what most people think of for a photo frame
3:49
but its gorgeous 21-inch 1080p display is perfect for displaying photos even from across the room
3:55
And with its white and black bezels, I think it still looks like a real photo frame. But that's
4:00
not all this can do. This is both Amazon's largest and most expensive smart display yet at $399
4:07
but it's also a smart hub, fire TV, smart speaker, and one of my favorite ways for keeping track of
4:13
all things in my home thanks to its helpful widgets like a to-do and shopping list, replacing
4:18
the whiteboard on my wall from before it. And with the new Alexa AI Plus software, this is also now
4:24
my favorite AI smart home assistant with very natural prompts. An Alexa voice remote and wall
4:29
mounting kit is included, which supports horizontal and vertical orientation, but the optional swivel
4:35
stand costs an additional $125. So if you're on a tighter budget, wall mounting is probably your
4:41
best bet for photo syncing it's easiest if you already use Amazon photos to store
4:45
your images but you can also upload select photos or albums via that photos
4:50
app if you want don't get me wrong there is something definitely beautiful about
4:54
having a photo frame which is exclusively used to show your images but for those who want the best multi display that can do a lot more this is the one to get and be sure to look out for amazon discounts
5:06
especially around black friday because this gets some pretty awesome deals if you want a digital
5:11
photo frame that looks like or almost just like hanging art on your wall you should check out the
5:16
aura ink at 499 this is not cheap but it's very unique in that it features e-ink color display
5:22
technology. You can think of this as a supersized Kindle, meaning that it uses very little energy
5:28
and can last up to three months unplugged before you need to recharge it. That alone is a huge
5:33
selling feature if you just want to hang this cleanly on your wall without dangling cables
5:37
The big 13.3 inch display comes in a nice frame along with a large matte border which makes it
5:43
look a lot more like a regular picture frame. Now this isn't as bright or vivid as digital photo
5:48
frames and it can't play videos or music. This also is not meant to cycle through your photos
5:52
quickly as it takes time and it eats through your battery life but if you're looking for a photo
5:57
frame that looks very lifelike with very long battery life and you're happy cycling through
6:01
your photos at a slower interval it's very easy to recommend the aura ink so there are a lot of
6:07
great options out there but our team is constantly reviewing the latest models to keep this list of
6:12
