Smart digital photo frame features

Reliable full-screen playback for tablets and dedicated display devices. Build slideshows from local folders, SMB/NAS shares, Google Photos picked photos, OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Immich, then layer in overlays, audio, scheduling, and voice control.

🖼️

Offline photo viewer

Use local folders and NAS/SMB shares for private, internet-free playback. Your setup keeps running even when internet drops.

☁️

Google Photos picked photos

Use the official Google Photos Picker to save hand-picked photo sets, append to existing picks, and keep those selections separate from regular cache pruning.

🚀

First-launch onboarding + PRO purchase

New users get guided setup for sources and their first album. PRO features are unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase.

🎙️

Voice-controlled

Use wake phrases, follow-up listening, and command toggles to control slideshow and audio hands-free.

⏰

Smart scheduling

Set simple or custom daily running hours so your frame wakes and sleeps automatically.

📻

Radio + Music

Use dedicated Radio and Music tabs for stations, folder-based playlists, background playback, and now-playing overlays in corners you control.

🌤️

Metadata and weather overlays

Show clock, weather, photo metadata, ambient logo, and now-playing details where you want, with adjustable size and layout behavior. Weather is optional and off by default on new installations; users who enabled it earlier keep their setting.

🧩

Cloud and local in one frame

Mix local folders, SMB/NAS shares, Google Photos picks, OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Immich in the same album workflow.

📶

SMB outage recovery controls

Set SMB retry counts and reconnect intervals, and keep playback running from available media while connectivity recovers.

🎵

Local and NAS music playlists

Create folder-based playlists from device storage, SD card, or SMB/NAS shares, with recursive scanning and track re-linking.

📅

Calendar & Reminders

Tap the clock to open a full-screen calendar. Manage events and reminders with glow alerts and recurring schedules.

🎥

Video Support

Play videos alongside photos in the same album rotation with duration limits, file-size guardrails, thumbnailing, and audio policy control.

✨

Cinematic Effects

Add motion to photos with Ken Burns, Drift, Vignette Pulse, and other cinematic presets, plus multiple animated transitions.

🪄

Image backdrop styles

In Fit mode, style letterbox and pillarbox space with None, Gradient, Solid, Mirrored, or Themed fills.

🙈

Hidden photos management

Hide photos per album or globally without deleting them, then review and unhide later using dedicated controls.

🛡️

OLED burn-in protection

Bouncing standby clock and anti-burn-in micro-shift behaviors reduce static retention risk during long display sessions.

🧭

Premium dashboard UI

Modern card-based settings layout with consistent iconography and themed tinting for faster, clearer navigation.

📍

Landmark Metadata

Show POI names (e.g., "Eiffel Tower") instead of just coordinates. EXIF is read on your device; enabling location or landmark names sends coordinates rounded to 2 decimals (about 1 km) to OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Results are cached on your device; nothing else from photos leaves it.

🧠

Advanced metadata geocoding

Enhanced location naming strips noisy suffixes and surfaces cleaner place names for readable on-frame metadata overlays.

💾

Storage Headroom Guard

Proactive storage management estimates incoming media size and prunes cache oldest-first to avoid running out of space.

☁️

OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Immich

Connect multiple cloud providers and self-hosted Immich, then pick exact folders or albums to blend with local sources. Google Drive uses Google sign-in and folder selection.

🎞️

Transition variety

Choose from multiple transition styles including Slide, Cube, Crossfade, Parallax, and more for smoother playback flow.

🔀

Smart Shuffle

Reduce burst-photo clumping by spacing similar shots apart, creating more balanced and natural-looking album rotation.

🎨

Color schemes and themes

Switch between seven curated themes and app color accents to match room lighting, mood, and readability without compromising the frame look.

📺

Android TV and Fire TV support

Optimized controls and navigation for TV-class devices make always-on frame setups viable beyond tablets and phones.

🎛️

Per-album playback controls

Tune playback behavior per album, including video guardrails and source mix, to build exactly the frame experience you want.

⏱️

Fast setup and instant loading

Designed for quick onboarding and responsive playback, so old and new Android hardware can become a frame in minutes.

Smart photo frame alternative

Fravora turns the Android hardware you already own into a dedicated display. Instead of buying a proprietary frame, you can reuse existing tablets or Fire tablets while keeping your photos private.
