AURA LAUNCHES ASPEN, THE DIGITAL FRAME
DESIGNED TO BRING PHOTOS BACK INTO THE HOME
Inspired by traditional frame styles with an ultra-thin profile and HD display, Aspen is the perfect digital frame for every photo and video — with two new features that make sharing from the free Aura Frames app easier and more personal than ever.
NEW YORK, NY (April 16, 2025) – Aura, the leading brand and innovator in digital picture frames with over 6 million app customers worldwide, today announced the launch of Aspen, the company’s newest digital frame built for effortless, unlimited photo sharing, along with two new software features: Text Captions and People Search. Designed to elegantly display photos and videos, Aspen offers an elevated high-definition display with a design to mirror traditional frame styles — making Aura the only digital frame worthy of coveted counter space.
Aura continues to redefine the digital frame category by setting a new standard for sharing memories, one that merges collaborative and easy-to-use technology with a sophisticated, minimalist style. By making it simple for loved ones to share photos from anywhere with unlimited cloud storage, Aura frames – and now Aspen – become a centerpiece for family photo sharing.
Available in two colors, Ink and Clay, Aspen gives customers the perfect way to enjoy photos off the phone, including those shared by others using the app from anywhere. This all-new frame features an ideal-sized 12? HD anti-glare display, a paper-textured matting, and a slim bezel, seamlessly blending into any home’s decor.
“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.”
GET TO KNOW ASPEN
Aspen brings memories into everyday life and reframes how people connect through photos with the Aura app. Customers invite family and friends into a private network, who can then easily add photos and videos to one or multiple connected frames, from anywhere in the world. Aspen uniquely offers:
- The frame your photos deserve: At 0.5 inches along the edge of the frame, Aspen is Aura’s thinnest frame yet. It features a 1600×1200 HD anti-glare display and 4:3 aspect ratio to ensure images fill the frame (the default aspect ratio for smartphone cameras), with each display expertly calibrated for brightness, contrast, and color. Place it in portrait or landscape on a tabletop, and Aspen will adjust photos and videos automatically.
- Designed to hide tech in plain sight: Inspired by traditional picture frames, Aspen’s paper-textured matting, metal stand, and fabric-covered power cord add an elevated feel to any room.
- 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 sleek touch bar allows customers to scroll through photos and videos and adjust settings — all without leaving fingerprints on the frame’s display.
- Easy, one-minute set-up and meaningful gifting: Set-up on WiFi using the Aura app. Plus, it’s easy to pre-load an Aura frame with photos and videos using the app before it’s opened.
SHARE WITHOUT LIMITS: UNLIMITED STORAGE MEETS INTELLIGENT FEATURES
With the free Aura app, customers can send unlimited photos and videos to any Aura frame from anywhere – no limits on storage or features, and no added subscriptions. In addition to launching the new Aspen frame, Aura is also rolling out two new software features to make sharing and reliving memories easier than ever, currently available on iOS with Android support to follow:
- Text Captions: Customers can now add context to photos with details like dates, locations, and personal notes to make them even more meaningful. Simply write a short caption within the Aura app for any photo, and it will appear on the frame.
- People Search: Quickly filter and add photos of the most important people, making it easier to resurface hidden gems. People Search runs locally on a customer’s device, delivering all the benefits of AI with a privacy-focused design.
“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 for $229 starting today in the United States at auraframes.com, Amazon, and select retailers. Aspen joins Aura’s top-rated line-up of digital frames, including the best-selling Carver and the wall-mountable Walden. For more information, visit auraframes.com.
