An updated list of top rated digital photo frames available on the market in 2016. Find out what’s worth buying based on the latest technology innovations and customer reviews.

In the past years the only way to store pictures was to use a classic Photo Frame to hold pictures from developed film. Nowadays, we have the option of going digital and saving ourselves the time and hassle of getting our pictures developed, standing in line, and spending the money on costly rolls of film. Digital photo frames make it easy to take advantage of digital photography!

Combined with a simple, clear remote control, it’s a breeze to get started.

Customer Review: Outstanding picture clarity. Will play videos and pictures as it progresses through them. I used a 32 and 64 gig SD card with thousands of photos. Menus and remote are well designed. Bought this one as our second picture frame (Father’s Day present) since we really enjoyed the first one we purchased. Only minor drawback is that it seems to have trouble playing 1024 HD videos, it still plays but has trouble since it only can process 720 HD video. Really like the motion sensor on it. You can set the sensor timing and save power consumption.

The Pix-Star 15-Inch FotoConnect XD is the biggest and best in the family of easy-to-use Wi-Fi & email photo frames from Pix-Star. With the ability to receive and send photo-mails directly from the frame, a computer becomes unnecessary.

Once configured the frame works without the need for a computer.

It displays beautiful 1024×768 resolution photos on a big 15-inch screen. Enjoy the best shots of your family in full screen, full resolution.

Customer Review: Undoubtedly one of the best gifts I’ve ever given to my mother! The killer feature of this frame is the ability to easily email a photo to the frame (from my phone or computer) and it will automatically be added to the frame’s collection of photos. It’s easy to set up—basically grandma just has to have wifi—and it’s a daily present for grandma when we send her an email with a photo of the kids. My mother, who has no technology skills, LOVES IT!!! Its been running for over a year and no problems!

Customer Review: This is a truly well thought-out, well made product. I bought it so that we can keep Grandma well supplied of family pictures. As the person who had to set it all up, and will administer the frame, the software is extremely easy to use. You simply authorize who can send pictures to the special email address which is created. They then send send the pictures as attachments and the pictures are on the frame. What could be simpler. If any pictures are not correct top to top, bottom to bottom, the interface allow me to quickly fix. I didn’t even read the manual. Everything works in an intuitive way. I love this and will probably buy another for my own use it is so cool.
