Appearance - Consider the looks of your digital photo frame. There is a choice of natural woods, leather, metals, and plastics. Some products offer different interchangeable frames to go around the screen.
Size - Popular digital photo frames range from about 7 to 10 inches but smaller and bigger frames are available.

Features Check the display features. Is there a multi display or side show? Will it deal with cropped or differently formatted photos? Can you send your pictures to a printer? Will it play video or stream info from the web? What else can it do? Advanced models will have Wi Fi and USB Bluetooth
