FrameDeck

FrameDeck gives your Samsung The Frame TV the desktop tool it never had. Find your TVs on the network, pair them once, then drag in photos and see exactly how each one will look on the screen before you send it.

It talks directly to your TVs over your home network. No account, no cloud, and no photo ever leaves your local network.

What you get

1. Find and pair your TVs — Scan the network or enter an IP address, then pair in one click. Manage several Frame TVs side by side, and wake a TV from standby.
2. A real library for each TV — See every piece of art stored on a TV with true thumbnails. Select several at once, delete with confirmation, display one right now, or mark favourites.
3. Free museum art, built in — Search the open collections of the Met, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Rijksmuseum, tick what you like and send it to your TVs. Only public-domain and CC0 works are shown.
4. Upload photos and whole folders — Drag and drop photos or folders onto one TV or several at once, with or without a matte in any style and colour the TV offers.
5. A photo check before you send — FrameDeck compares each photo to the TV's resolution and grades its quality. It warns you about low resolution and about how much will be cropped.
6. Choose how each photo fits — Original, Fill, Fit, or Fit with a blurred backdrop, with a simulated preview of the result on the TV.
7. Smart handling of formats — HEIC, WebP and images with transparency are converted for you, and files are kept within the TV's size limit.
8. No duplicates — Photos already on a TV are detected and skipped. Transient errors are retried, and you can cancel an upload at any time.
9. Move art between TVs — Copy artwork from one TV to another, and change the matte on photos already uploaded.
10. Automatic rotation — Set the interval and shuffle on one TV or all of them at once. Turn Art Mode on or off and adjust the brightness.
11. In English and French — The interface follows your Mac's language.

• Art lovers who want museum masterpieces on their wall without paying for a subscription
• Photographers and artists who want to show their own work at home
