Nixplay digital frames are a beautiful way to display meaningful family images…but that’s not the only thing they’re used for! Over the years we’ve seen our clients use our frames in creative ways that even boggled our minds.

1. Monster-Be-Gone

We had one parent contact us saying that one of our digital frames were the answer to her monster-under-the-bed problem with her 4 year old. By using it as a motivational nightlight that ‘scares off monsters,’ she was able to turn bedtime from fear time to a sleep oasis.

2. Photo Pen Pals

Teachers often come up with the most creative uses of our digital frames, and one really stuck out in our minds. One teacher in Illinois started a pen-pal program with students in England, and she incorporated our digital frame to turn paper pen pals into photo pen pals. She told us that the visual component encouraged the students to keep up with the program. This worked especially well as it was one of our Wifi Cloud Frames.

3. An Animator’s Best Friend

One of our clients, a classic 2D animator, decided to add some of his hand-drawn frames to the digital frame, and put them in a playlist. It turned his frames into frame-by-frame animations.

4. Graphic Novel Displays

Graphic novel fans, as we’ve learned, are some of the most hardcore fans out there. One used our frame to display frames of his favorite graphic novel. By showing a frame at a time he could experience his favorite novel, daily.

5. Man Cave

Football fans give graphic-novel fans a run for their money. One such fan was a Nebraska Cornhuskers fanatic who had gone to every championship game for the last two decades. He added images from each game to his digital frame—and mounted it on top of his Cornhuskers jersey…in his man cave!

6. Vision

A popular and super-creative use for our digital frames is as digital vision boards. By adding pictures of their goals, like a new house or weight loss, in a looped playback cycle, our customers have successfully motivated themselves to reach their goals.

Our digital frames have also been used to create digital fireplaces, to serve as a secondary computer monitor, as mobile presentation tools, and as digital maps.

So you’ve decided you’re going to buy a WiFi cloud frame. Whether it’s meant to be a gift for a friend or loved one, or meant to give you a stylish way to display your own photos at home or at work, you’re doing your research now, trying to decide which type of cloud frame will be the best fit.

Some frames offer higher resolution displays, but fewer extra features such as motion sensors. Others tout their photo storage capabilities, but don’t say much about customer support once the sale is complete. Isn’t there a frame out there that offers every single feature you want?

Well, look no further – you’re in luck! Nixplay’s WiFi Cloud Frames are the frames you’ve been looking for.

With all of the most desirable features – and some extras unique to Nixplay – our cloud frames mix fun and function, style and service. To prove it, here’s a list of 4 ways that Nixplay’s WiFi Cloud Frames are unique.

1. Fashionable Color and Design Choices

When you look at most cloud WiFi frames, what do you see? Black, black, and more black. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – we’re rather partial to the sleek, elegant, modern look of black ourselves. But everyone likes to mix it up sometimes! That’s why we introduced the Nixplay Seed, a slim, stylish frame available in blue, mulberry, and mango as well as black, with a cable-stand design.

2. Different Options for Uploading Photos

Some cloud frames let you email pictures to your frame, while others connect to one specific social media account. But what if you want to be able to send photos to your frame directly from your phone, or from your Dropbox, or from several different social media platforms? Nixplay WiFi Cloud Frames are there for you, with a convenient mobile app that allows you to do just that, and more. And when you’re feeling old-school? Our Nixplay Edge cloud frame lets you upload pictures with USB and SD/SDHC cards, too.

3. All the Extra Features You Want

Imagine you’re comparing Nixplay Cloud Frames to a whole slew of other WiFi digital frames on one of those consumer product comparison websites. The side-by-side comparison chart lists all the different features these frames might have, and checks the boxes off for each frame’s capabilities. Some have one or two check marks, others three or four – but Nixplay checks every single box on the list. From motion sensors that turn the frame on when you enter the room and off when you leave, to the ability to add captions to each photo you upload, our frames have it all.

4. Over-the-Top Customer Service

Some cloud frames require an expensive subscription to maintain your photo collection. Others leave you hanging almost as soon as you complete your purchase. Here at Nixplay, we see each sale of a frame as the beginning of a relationship, not as a one-and-done deal. We offer free shipping, a 30-day money back guarantee, and a one-year parts and labor warranty.

But that’s not all. We also gift every single one of our customers a free lifetime subscription to our cloud service, which can include up to 5 frames, 10 GB of storage, and unlimited photo playlists. If you need more than that, we offer a more in-depth plan for just $1.99 per month, or $19.90 per year, which includes up to 10 frames, and 30 GB of storage. And if all you need is extra storage, we’re also happy to oblige, with several different plans to accommodate even the most avid photographer’s needs.

You see, here at Nixplay, we’re all about bringing families closer together – and we see every one of our customers as members of the Nixplay family, as well. We do all we can to make sure that everyone in our family is happy, just like you do in your own family. So if you’re looking for a fashionable frame that lets you upload pictures however you want, has all the bells and whistles, and comes with a lifetime of extraordinary customer support, then your search is over.
