A digital photo frame is a lovely way to add a personal touch to your home and give it that warm, inviting feeling.
It needs to be the perfect size for your space, of course — so make sure you measure out where you want the frame before you buy one!
One thing that’s hard with a digital photo frame is how to choose which photos will go on it. You might like them all and not want to choose just one type of picture. The best solution is choosing photos from different times in your life- they can be as old as childhood or as recent as last week.
If you’re the kind of person on their phone or computer all day, then this article might be for you. Nowadays, it’s hard to step away from the screen because almost every social interaction happens online.
Maybe you’re checking your Instagram feed one more time before bedtime or sending a text to a friend who is still at work. You regularly find yourself staring at screens and never really experiencing the world in front of you.
If you have pictures of your children or grandchildren, for example, choose a mix of photos from their early years as well as more recent ones. A good digital photo frame will have a “slideshow” feature so you can set it up to show your family’s pictures without any effort on your part.
It’s also worth considering how much storage space the frame has. How many photos does it take?
Try to make space for at least 1,000 images so that you have plenty of room for all your favorite shots.
Aura Mason
The Aura Mason’s easy setup, minimalist functionality, vivid display, and pleasing design make it stand out.
The Aura Mason combines attractive hardware and simple software to create a digital photo frame that is the easiest to set up and operate. You go through the entire process on your Android or iOS device, no clunky remote required, and setup includes the option of inviting family members and friends to view and upload pictures. If you’re primarily a phone photographer, you’ll have your pictures up on this frame in a relatively short amount of time.
Aura’s software helps you easily set up the Aura Mason as a gift. Using the app, scan a QR code on the box to pair it with your account. That lets you invite family members to contribute photos before the recipient unpacks the frame and plugs it in. You can also have the frame shipped from Aura directly and use the company’s email setup process to associate it with your account while it’s in transit. Though we didn’t try the gift-setup methods ourselves, we do appreciate Aura’s focus on the gift angle.
Once you download the Aura app, pair your phone to your frame, and connect it to your Wi-Fi network settings through your phone, you’re set. Judging from our experience with the Aura platform, you won’t have to wait for updates to install (any updates occur overnight or when the screen is off for an extended period). In addition, you won’t have to do anything on the frame itself with a remote control, because there isn’t one — something that competing frames tend to require.
The Mason’s 1600×1200-resolution, 8.57-inch screen (which Aura sometimes rounds up to 9 inches in spec sheets) looks sharp, has excellent contrast, and displays colors well. We found its quality to be on a par with that of much pricier, bigger digital frames. Its automatic light sensor worked surprisingly well in our trial runs, cranking up the screen’s brightness to combat sunlight. It also reliably turned the display off at night and when no one was around using Aura’s “presence sensor” — a task that other frames struggled to manage.
Once it’s up and running, you have many display options to choose from. Working with its default settings, you get behavior that’s more suggestive of a real picture frame than a digital one. You’ll find no cheesy animations between photos, only simple fades and swipes. The Mason does a remarkably better job than competitors at automatically cropping photos that are in the wrong orientation for the frame. And in case it gets things wrong in that regard, a link in the app displays the photos it cropped automatically so that you can re-crop them if you want (which, based on my experience, you will do very rarely).
A nice surprise I discovered while testing is that the Mason and other frames in the Aura family are compatible with Apple’s Live Photo feature, and you’ll see such images come to life for an instant when they first appear on the display.
