A digital picture frame, also called a digital photo frame or a digital image display, is an electronic device that displays digital pictures.
Digital picture frames have become more popular as digital photography has become more prevalent. A digital picture frame has viewing options that a traditional single photo frame does not, making it more desirable to many consumers.
Somedigital picture frames will only display JPEG-based digital pictures, while others will show numerous image types including BMP, TIF, and GIF. For those looking for more active displays, digital picture frames that show videos in QuickTime, MPEG, and Windows Media Player (WMP) formats are available. Some digital picture frames even play digital music while displaying images, creating a complete audio/video experience. Almost all digital picture frames will display multiple images in a slideshow-style format if more than one image is available in memory.
