A digital photo frame is also known as a digital media or digital picture frame, is a small LCD monitor designed to look like a conventional picture frame. Such digital picture frames can be set up in portrait or landscape orientation, and they can hang on a wall or stand on a table. Like a digital camera, a digital photo frame includes a memory card or some amount of built-in memory, which is expected to increase the storage capacity. First-generation of digital photo frames came out in the 1990s and included a screen with the ability to accept memory cards directly from a digital camera. In the 1990s, increasing the adoption of digital cameras brought consumers thousands of digital photos without a viable viewing method. After the introduction of digital images, commercially available digital photo frames started to appear. The second generation of digital photo frames includes connectivity to the internet. In 1999, Ceiva launched a digital photo frame with dial-up connectivity. Some digital photo frames come with software that individual has to run on a computer to create slideshows, with various playback speeds and transition patterns, while others have more advanced controls right on the frame itself that let people do the same thing.

Some digital frames feature an orientation sensor that automatically rotates images or photos so they can appear right-side-up, and others offer automatic image resizing, regardless of their resolution. Some include a clock, calendar as well as alarm functions so the individual can replace old-fashioned alarm clock with a modern digital picture frame that doubles as an alarm clock. Some frames have touch-screen controls and some frames display random slideshows or create playlists containing specific images. An individual can combine audio files or music with pictures, as long as the frame has built-in speakers. Some other feature makes digital photo frames versatile and easier to use. Some digital picture frames include Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, which lets people connect the frame to a home network, computer or cell phone, wirelessly. Some frames are programmed with an email address so that friends and family can send photos to it. Some digital photo frames can link to friends and photo albums on Facebook and other photo-gallery websites so that people can see new pictures on the frame. One of the frames can automatically connect to wireless networks and receive a certain number of images for free; people can purchase additional packages to get even more photos in the same way.

Global Digital Photo Frame Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2019–2029

There is no standard size for a digital photo frame. Digital picture frames come in small size as 1.5 inches and as large as 19 to 32 inches. Like a TV set or monitor, digital picture frame sizes are measured diagonally. The smallest digital picture frames are considered for the use of key chains, but they are not that tiny. While they’ll easily fit in a briefcase or purse, individuals probably wouldn’t want to carry one around all day long. Such small frames typically have a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels. The market widely adopted first-generation frames. The global market peaked in 2009, surpassing US$ 10B, but the launch of Apple’s iPad started to slow the market slowly. By 2010, Nixplay and PixStar began to popularize digital photo frames with wifi connection, enabling consumers to upload photos from the web and connect to cloud-based photo sharing and storage sites on Picasa, Flickr, Google Photos, Facebook, and Instagram. By 2016, the third generation of digital photo frames began to appear in companies such as PhotoSpring, Aura, and Joy. These photo frames use a tablet platform to build photo frame features on top of them. This makes it possible to use touchscreen and battery technology in PhotoSpring and Joy’s photo frames, and camera technology in Aura and Joy.
