Turn your TV into a personal art gallery. Open Frame is an independent app that sends your own photos to your TV's art gallery over your home Wi-Fi — no cloud account, and nothing ever leaving your local network. If you have an art-mode TV on your wall and you've been looking for a simple, private way to get your personal photos onto it, this is for you. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Send photos from your iPhone straight to a compatible TV on your Wi-Fi • Crop and resize automatically to match the TV's 4K display • Choose from your TV's built-in matte styles and colors (modern, shadowbox, flexible, panoramic, triptych, and more) • Preview how your photo will look with each matte before you send it • Rotate and adjust portrait or landscape photos for the best fit • Browse and manage what you've already sent — select or remove images • HEIC, JPEG, and PNG photos all supported (HEIC is converted automatically) WHY PEOPLE USE OPEN FRAME • Private — your photos travel only between your iPhone and your own TV on your local Wi-Fi; they are never sent to any server • No account required — just open the app and connect • No tracking, no analytics — your photo library is your business • Works with the art-mode TV you already own HOW IT WORKS Open Frame scans your home Wi-Fi to find a compatible TV on first launch. From there, pick a photo, pick a matte, and send it to the TV's art gallery. It's that simple. SUPPORTING THE APP Open Frame is free to install and free to use — uploads are never gated or interrupted. A small banner ad appears on a few screens, and a one-time $1.99 purchase removes it forever. Either way, your photos go directly from your iPhone to your own TV; ads are served separately and never see your photos. WORKS WITH • Samsung The Frame TV, 2019 models and newer, with Art Mode switched on • Same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone, and Local Network permission so the app can find the TV Not every art-mode television is supported. If Open Frame cannot reach yours, your television manufacturer's own companion app remains the supported way to transfer images. HAVE FEEDBACK? Open Frame is actively developed.
