Scaling the picture to match your frame’s native resolution ensures that each picture doesn’t use more storage space than necessary. Right-click and choose the “resize” option from the list.

To do this, open the picture on your computer in your image viewer. Now that you’ve noted your frame’s aspect ratio and resolution, the next step is to scale down the resolution of your pics. Scale your pics to match the frame’s resolution.You can save the edited picture to the same directory as the original just make sure to change the file name or you’ll be asked if you want to overwrite the original. Click on “Save a Copy” if you want to keep the unedited original. Once you’ve got the picture to match your frame’s native aspect ratio, you can move on scaling down the resolution. If the picture is already in the frame’s aspect ratio, there is no need to edit or crop it. You can move the selection panel around to choose which parts of your picture will be cut. This will resize the selection window to the new aspect ratio. On the right-hand side, click on the “Aspect ratio: Custom” option and select your frame’s aspect ratio from the list. Click on the “Edit & Create” button at the top of the window, then click on the “Edit” option from the drop-down list. Open the picture in the “Photos” app on your PC. If you were to adjust the picture resolution, without first adjusting the aspect ratio, you still won’t get it to display edge to edge on a display that uses a different aspect ratio. When you’re learning how to resize pics for a digital picture frame, you need to get the aspect ratio right. Adjust the aspect ratio to match your digital frame.The most commonly found ratios on digital frames are 16:9, 16:10, and 4:3. This will do the calculation for you and tell you the frame’s aspect ratio. Simply type “calculate aspect ratio by resolution” into Google search, open the aspect ratio calculator, and input your frame’s resolution. You can look for the aspect ratio in the user documentation, or by using an online aspect ratio calculator. Other frames with different aspect ratios should have similar resolutions. For reference, the most common resolutions are 1024×768 and 800×600 (for 4:3 aspect ratio frames). Check your frame’s original box, or look in the user manual/documentation and look for the resolution of the frame. In this case, the display is wider than it is tall. For example, 1024×768 means that the display has 1024 pixels horizontally, and 768 vertically. Resolution refers to the number of pixels, with the horizontal count usually being written first. The first step in learning how to resize pics for a digital picture frame is to learn the frame’s resolution and aspect ratio.

This aspect ratio better matches most of the photos we take with our smartphones and digital cameras. While this issue is partly dealt with by choosing a digital picture frame with a versatile aspect ratio (like the 4:3 aspect ratio of Pix-Star frames). There’s nothing worse than loading a picture onto a digital frame, only to have it displayed on 60% of the screen – or deformed/stretched to fit the display. Learning how to resize pics for a digital picture frame is essential if you want to use all of your frame’s available screen real estate.
