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. Use the built-in "Report a Bug" option to send suggestions or issues directly to the developer. --- Open Frame is an independent app developed and published by Raylytics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Open Frame at none against Purgio's 3. Open Frame also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Purgio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
