To get the most out of your Frame TV's Art Mode, it's essential to use artwork that's properly sized and formatted. This guide covers the optimal specifications for displaying artwork on your Frame TV.

Recommended Resolution

4K (3840x2160 pixels) is the ideal resolution for Frame TV artwork. This matches the native resolution of most Frame TV models, ensuring your artwork displays with maximum clarity and detail.

While lower resolutions like Full HD (1920x1080) will work, they may appear slightly soft or pixelated, especially when viewed up close. For the best gallery-quality appearance, always use 4K resolution.

Aspect Ratio

Frame TVs use a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is the standard widescreen format. This means your artwork should match this ratio to fill the screen properly without cropping or letterboxing.

File Formats

Samsung Frame TV supports several image formats:

• JPEG: Most common format, good compression, widely compatible
• PNG: Lossless compression, supports transparency (though not needed for Frame TV)
• HEIF: Modern format with excellent compression, supported on newer Frame TV models

For most users, JPEG is the best choice as it offers a good balance between file size and quality. Use high quality settings (90-100%) to maintain image detail.

File Size Considerations

While Frame TV can handle files up to 50MB, it's best to optimize your images:

• 4K JPEG at 90% quality: Typically 5-15MB
• 4K PNG: Can be 20-40MB (larger file size)
• Smaller file sizes upload faster and use less storage
• Balance quality with file size for best performance

Color Space and Settings

For best results:

• Use sRGB color space for consistent colors
• Avoid over-saturation in your artwork
• Consider your room's lighting when creating or selecting artwork
• Test artwork in Art Mode to see how it looks in your space

Tips for Creating Artwork

• Always create or export artwork at 4K resolution (3840x2160)
• Use 16:9 aspect ratio to avoid cropping
• Save as high-quality JPEG for best compatibility
• Consider the viewing distance—artwork should look good from across the room
• Test your artwork on the TV before adding to your permanent collection
