Say hello to Aspen, the latest addition to Aura’s award-winning lineup of digital frames. With a perfectly sized 12″ HD anti-glare display, paper-textured matting, and an ultra-slim 0.5 inch bezel, Aspen is our sleekest frame yet. It automatically adjusts to portrait or landscape orientation depending on how you place it, and is available in two neutral finishes: Ink and Clay. Designed to blend seamlessly into your home decor, Aspen stands out where it matters most: beautifully displaying your photos and videos.
“Traditional frames vary widely by design, but digital frames have remained largely uniform — Aspen changes that with its refined details, organic textures, and ultra-thin form,” says Scott Chapps, Chief Creative Officer at Aura. “We believe the best technology should not be a distraction — Aspen lets your photos and videos take center stage.”
Along with its slim, versatile design Aspen comes with an impressive list of high-tech features, including:
1600x1200 HD anti-glare display and 4:3 aspect ratio: ensures images fill the frame (the default aspect ratio for smartphone cameras).
Ambient smart features for effortless display: Aspen’s ambient light sensor automatically adjusts brightness and turns the frame off at night as the room darkens, eliminating unwanted, after-hours tech glow.
Intuitive touch controls: A smooth touchbar allows users to scroll through photos and videos and adjust settings — all without leaving fingerprints on the frame’s display.
Text Captions (New!): Add short notes, dates, or locations to give your photos more context — perfect for remembering those little details. Learn more here.
People Search (New!): Easily find and add photos of the people who matter most (and don’t worry — it all happens on your device to keep things private). Learn more here.
Personalized gifting: You can preload photos, videos, and even a personal message to any Aura frame, making it the perfect gift for any occasion.
Aspen is quick and easy to set up, and with the free Aura app, you can send unlimited photos and videos to Aspen — or any Aura frame —no subscription required. You can also invite friends and family to contribute, making the frame a shared space for even more memories.
“Our favorite memories should be easy to share and enjoy, not buried in a phone and not just those shared on social media,” says Ashley Phillips, Director of Product at Aura. “That’s why we designed Aspen with seamless ways to add photos and videos — whether from the Aura app, Google Photos, iCloud, your camera roll, desktop, or even email. Our goal is to make it incredibly easy to stay connected to loved ones through photos, no matter how far apart you are.”
Aspen is available now for $229 at auraframes.com, Amazon, and select retailers in the U.S. It joins our best-selling Carver and the wall-mountable Walden as part of our top-rated digital frame family.
