If you have a Samsung Frame TV, you already know it’s not just a TV—it’s a piece of art!
But if you’ve browsed the Art Store and realized you don’t want to pay for a subscription, don’t worry.
You can add gorgeous artwork and your own photos to your Frame TV for free!
Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps.
Option 1: Upload Your Own Photos
Want to display family pictures, travel snapshots, or even your kiddo’s latest masterpiece? You can easily upload them to your Frame TV.
Step 1: Get Your Photos Ready
- Choose high-quality images for the best display.
- Resize them to match the Frame TV’s resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels for the best fit, but it will adjust automatically if needed).
- If you want a realistic “matted” look, you can edit your photos to include a white or off-white border before uploading.
Step 2: Transfer Photos to Your TV
- Download the Samsung SmartThings app on your phone.
- Connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Open the SmartThings app, select your Frame TV, and tap on Art Mode.
- Choose Add Your Photos and select the images you want to upload.
- Adjust the positioning, add a digital mat (optional), and save!
Now, your beautiful photos are on display, making your TV blend seamlessly into your space. ✨
Option 2: Add Free Artwork (No Subscription Needed!)
If you love the look of classic paintings, modern designs, or trendy prints but don’t want to pay a monthly fee, here’s how to get free artwork.
Step 1: Find Free Art Online
There are tons of websites that offer free, high-quality art downloads, including:
- Unsplash (stunning photography)
- Pexels (free stock images)
- Canva (create your own art!)
- The Met Open Access (classic masterpieces)
Download your favourite images in high resolution for the best display quality.
Step 2: Upload the Art to Your Frame TV
- Just like with personal photos, use the SmartThings app to add the artwork.
- Adjust the settings in Art Mode to enhance the display.
- Play around with different mats and brightness settings to get the perfect look.
Boom! You now have a stunning art gallery without spending any money!
Bonus Samsung Frame TV tips:
- Adjust Brightness – If your TV looks too dim or too bright, tweak the Motion Sensor & Brightness settings in Art Mode.
- Use a Mat – Adding a mat (via the SmartThings app) makes digital art look more like a framed piece.
- Refresh Your Art Regularly – Change things up seasonally or whenever you need a fresh vibe in your space.
Now, go forth and turn your TV into a masterpiece without a subscription!
Happy decorating!
