## What is Frame Art Tool?

Get your own photos onto Samsung The Frame in Art Mode, perfectly fitted.

Pick a photo, crop it to the Frame's landscape or portrait shape, and the app resizes it to the TV's full 4K resolution (3840 × 2160). Because the image fits exactly, every size and matte style is available in Art Mode, without stretching or black bars.

Then send it straight to your TV over Wi-Fi. The app finds the Frame TVs on your network by itself and remembers the one you used last. The first time, your TV asks you to allow the connection; that's all the setup there is. You can also save the image to your Photos and upload it later with SmartThings or a USB stick.

• Crop to landscape or portrait in one step
• Resize to full 4K for a sharp result
• Send directly to your Frame over Wi-Fi
• Or save to the "The Frame Resized" album

Your first 5 resizes are free. I've received a lot of love and thanks from The Frame community, and if the app is useful to you, the unlimited package keeps it going.

Thanks!

Works with The Frame TVs from 2018 onwards. Older models may need a recent firmware update to receive images directly. This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by Samsung.

### 1/5 — Requires Full Access to Photos. WHY?

*2026-10-28*

Deleted the app already. It requires full access to all your photos. There is absolutely no reason or need for this besides selling data. Find an online tool instead.

### 5/5 — Works Perfectly

*2025-12-02, version 1.91*

This app is dead simple to use and works for both vertical and horizontal pictures. I upload all my pictures with SmartThings without issue.

### 1/5 — Privacy issues

*2025-03-13, version 1.91*

The app demands access to ALL of your photos with no options for limited access. Absolute privacy violation and gave me the creeps.

### 1/5 — Forces access to all photos DODGY

*2025-01-17, version 1.91*

Forcing access to all photos is super dodgy. No valid reason for it.

### 5/5 — Actually Works Now

*2025-01-02, version 1.91*

App actually got my photos to size perfectly for the Samsung art screen. Everything else was a nightmare because I decided to do my screen vertical and it just never quite worked right until I got this app. Put your photos through this app and resize them and save them back to your camera roll then upload them through the SmartThings app for Samsung and it works perfectly and smoothly.

### 1/5 — Should not need access to all photos

*2024-12-07, version 1.91*

I purchased this app and had been happy with it. A recent update (possibly iOS) has made it unusable unless you grant access to all photos. There’s no reason for this requirement. I’ll happily update this review once the app has been fixed.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2024-05-30, version 1.91*

Paid for unlimited resizes and now it’s stuck on the Thankyou patron page and won’t do anything. Is this a scam?

### 3/5 — In need of support

*2024-04-20, version 1.91*

The app states it supports family sharing but it won’t work for me. I do not see the ‘feedback’ option to share proof of purchase. Please advise.

### 1/5 — Don‘t go there!

*2023-12-24*

Does not work. Does not even have a menu! Resized photos vanish. Before you realize all this, EUR 3,99 are gone.

### 1/5 — Privacy issues

*2023-11-24, version 1.91*

The app needs access to all photos? I find this simply hard to understand why.
