A digital photo frame is an ideal gadget for displaying photos you love without the need for printing them first. These photo frames are designed to look exactly like normal photo frames that have been used for centuries to house paintings and pictures. The problem with normal photo frames is that they are designed to show only a single picture, and changing the picture displayed is a tedious process that involves taking apart the whole frame to insert another photo. Digital photo frames, however, use digital memories to store several photos that can be displayed in a sequence set by the user. The factors that determine how good a digital photo frame includes its aesthetic appeal, the number of connectivity options it has, its weight and physical size and the number of digital formats that it can display.
