Nixplay Smart Digital Picture Frame

More than 12,000 people (over 85 percent of reviewers) give this digital picture frame a five-star rating, including one customer who ended up buying multiple for their home. "We have them all over the walls for our millions of photos," she says. "For Valentine's Day, we played pictures of our love, on my son's birthday, we played a recap of the year." And while older Nixplay models required users to upload their photos via USB, this photo frame has a compatible phone app she says the whole family loves to use on their various phones: "We all can contribute photos. It's great. And you can link your Google account." In fact, over 700 of those five-star reviewers use the word "easy" to describe this picture frame. "It is easy to use, easy to share, and versatile in every way," writes one reviewer who has bought ten as gifts in the past. "I will never buy any other one but this one after all my experiences. This one WORKS!" A third reviewer adds that it's even a "perfect gift for someone who is not good with electronics. Not only does the app allow you to add and remove photos," they explain, "but it also controls all the settings, sleep times, brightness, remote control, volume, and anything else normally only available when in front of the device. This is really ingenious."

Aluratek 7-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame With Auto Slideshow

Reviewers love this more affordable Aluratek frame, which is less than a quarter of the price of the best-rated pick. "For the price you'd think you're not getting the greatest digital photo frame, but that is far from the truth!" writes one such reviewer. "This is an amazing digital photo frame. The pictures come out clear and it works very well!" One third of all five-star reviewers call this frame "easy" to use, too. It's so easy, in fact, that one person said his aunt "who is computer-illiterate" can use it. "Once you insert either a flash drive or an SD card, it's simply a plug and play," he explains. You have to arrange the photos in the order you want them before uploading them to the frame, because the frame isn't advanced enough for you to change it on the screen, but no one seems to be bothered by that. One even thinks this has just the right amount of features. "It's easy to use, and the photos look great. You can even adjust the brightness, contrast, etc., in the settings," one reviewer says.

AEEZO WiFi Digital Picture Frame

Reviewers love the responsive touchscreen on this Aeezo picture frame, because it allows them to further organize their photos even after they've been uploaded from the app. One reviewer, who's owned several others, claims that "this frame outclasses all of them," because "the controls are snappy, it's easy to get photos onto the frame, and it looks good when it's displaying the photos." Another reviewer who replaced their old digital photo frame with the Aeezo likes that it "has the ability to upload photos and short videos through an app on my phone," and that the touchscreen "makes it easy to adjust the photo position once uploaded."

Dragon Touch Digital Picture Frame, 10-inch

For a more traditional look, plenty of reviewers were impressed with the overall design of this digital frame, which automatically leaves space for a white border around each image. One reviewer bought it for just that reason, finding that it truly "looks like a picture frame, especially with the matte around it." Another says this particular frame "jumped out to me above all the other digital photo frames" because it "doesn't look like a cheap tablet, like most others." As for setting it up, reviewers say it's easy and intuitive. "I can upload photos by putting them on an SD card, sending them directly to my frame from the app on my phone, or just loading via USB," explains one reviewer, adding, "It does come with a nice manual, but I never needed to dive into that."

Dragon Touch 10 Inch WiFi Digital Picture Frame, Motion Sensor

In addition to clearly displaying pictures, reviewers rave about this digital picture frame's multiple functionalities. "It has so many features, motion detection, sleep modes, an alarm, a calendar, the weather, it holds pictures and videos (with sound)," writes a reviewer who also appreciates the frame's "really vibrant" display. "This has exceeded my expectations," begins another reviewer who especially likes the frame's "exceptional" picture quality, and how the "outstanding motion-detection sensor puts the screen to sleep when no one is around." Despite having so many extra features, reviewers say it's still a breeze to set up and operate this picture frame. One reviewer who bought this for their dad writes, "He was able to use it and the instructions were very easy to follow, even for someone who is not very tech savvy. So delighted."

Dragon Touch Classic 15-inch Digital Picture Frame

Many reviewers rave about this digital picture frame's gigantic 15-inch size, which easily makes it the biggest one on this list. It's "large enough to make photos visible across the room clearly," says a reviewer who also likes how this frame's "neutral" look works in "both modern and classic settings." "The pictures and videos look great displayed on its huge high-definition screen," writes another reviewer who appreciates that friends and family can also send in their photos to be displayed on it. "I mounted the picture frame on a wall in the living room and it looks so sharp and beautiful," they say. "I live in a separate state from all my family so I don't get to see them often due to my busy schedule, but now I see them daily since there's constantly new pictures and videos being sent in."
