Color e-ink picture frames
A page for each color e-ink picture frame we cover, with the specs, what reviewers liked and didn’t, running costs and where to buy in the US and UK.
- Prices
- From $149.99 for the SwitchBot AI Art Frame 7.3" (£159.99 in the UK). At 13.3 inches: Reflection Frame $299.99, SwitchBot $349.99 and Bloomin8 $499. Checked on the makers’ own stores on October 23, 2026; each frame’s page dates its own prices.
- Sizes
- 7.3 to 40.5 inches. 13.3 inches is the usual size: 8 of the 16 models.
- Who they suit
- Walls far from a socket, art, and one favorite photo that should look like a print. Not video, fast slideshows or dark rooms: only the Aura Ink has a front light.
- What they are
- Picture frames with a color e-ink screen (eink, e-ink and E Ink all mean the same thing): electronic paper in six inks that reflects the room’s light like a print, so nothing glows and a battery lasts months. More on color e-ink frames
