Turn Your iPad Into a Digital Photo Frame That Doesn’t Feel Cheap

Most digital photo frames feel like they belong in a bargain bin. An old iPad can do it better, with a nicer screen and better photo management, as long as you manage it properly.

You don’t need to dump thousands of random photos into a slideshow and call it a day. A great iPad photo frame is curated. Pick an album that actually looks good when it cycles. You can have family highlights, travel favorites, pets being ridiculous, or a rotating seasonal album you update once a month.

Once you have the album, use Photos to play a slideshow. Then just silence the notifications on your iPad and find a place where you can keep it plugged in at all times. The best part is that it’s quick and easy to use, so you can update your pictures in a flash.
