How it works

You copy photos onto a memory card or USB stick on a computer, then insert it into the frame. The frame reads the files from there.

What to check first

The manual tells you which card types and sizes the frame accepts, which file types it reads, and whether it copies photos into its own memory. We do not list these for any model.

File types

If your phone saves HEIC files, check that the frame can read them. HEIC and JPG photos

FAQ
