Buying Guide: The Best Digital Picture Frames for 2026
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 resemble digital picture frames, not traditional 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. However, while their screens are very good for displaying still images, mediocre contrast means they aren't ideal for watching movies or shows.
