Welcome to Aura! This manual will provide details you need to set up your frame,
invite members and share photos with family and friends using your new Aura frame.
We also have an online Help Center auraframes.com/help with FAQs,
videos, and more. Let’s get started!

Aura digital frames are beautifully designed WiFi frames
that connect people around the world through a brilliant
photo sharing experience enabled by Aura’s cloud servers.
Aura Digital Frames
Setup overview
Download the free Aura frames app and easily sync your
camera roll, iCloud, and Google Photos. Set up the frame
on your WiFi, and add selected photos. With unlimited
storage, you can invite the entire family and friends to
share their photos, and never worry about running out
of space.
Invite others to share photos
Invite friends and family to safely share their photos in
your home without the need to post on social media.
When you invite others to join your frame, they also
download the Aura frames app and select photos to
share on your frame. Since photos are sent from your
device to Aura’s safe cloud servers and then down to the
shared frame which is always connected to the internet,
you can send photos to any frame, even if you are on a
different network.
Features
Gi Setup–Aura offers a unique Gi Setup feature that
allows you to preload photos in advance of presenting
your gi to the recipient.
Touch Bars–While you can always control your frame
from the Aura app on your device, there is also an
interactive touch bar on the top and on the side of
the frame.
Light Sensor–Thanks to a light sensor for automatic
brightness adjustment, the display goes to sleep when
the room is dark.
Quality Filters–When you select an entire album to
share (AUTO-ADD), Aura lters and displays only your
best photos, avoiding duplicates and blurry photos.

Gi Setup–Giving and Receiving
What is Aura Gi Setup?
Aura’s Gi Setup feature allows you to preload photos
and a customized message onto the frame before you
give it to the recipient. Once the recipient connects the
frame to their WiFi, the message and preloaded photos
will appear on the frame.
Giving as a gi
Simply scan the gi setup code and the Aura app will
walk you through the steps to preload photos and a gi
message on the frame. You can learn more about the
process in this FAQ: auraframes.com/gi-setup
Receiving as a gi
Please do not scan the Gi Setup code on the box; it is
not intended for the gi recipient. Instead, follow the
instructions on the following pages to set up your frame
and/or see our online FAQ: auraframes.com/setup
Photo access and privacy
The app requires access to the photos you want to
send to your Aura frame. Your photos are always stored
securely on your device, on Aura’s cloud servers, and
on your Aura Frame. They are never shared with any
third parties, or with other Aura users without your
permission.
Security and privacy
Aura uploads and stores your selected photos in a
secure cloud database, powered by Amazon Web
Services (AWS).
Aura uses the AES−256 advanced encryption standard,
which is the industry standard. Other frame members
who are connected to your frame will see the photos
you’ve added to that frame, and never photos that you
have not. Your photos will also be stored locally on
your frame, but your frame will sync with our database
regularly to ensure it has all of the right photos and
requires an active internet connection to function
properly. For more information see auraframes.com/
privacy and auraframes.com/photo-access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I perform a factory reset?
No. A frame reset (paperclip) should only be used if
instructed by Customer Care since it will remove your
photos from the frame. If a gi frame has been set up in
advance, a factory reset will also delete the gi frame.
If you need assistance, please contact Customer Care
before resorting to a factory reset.
What about additional photo storage, SD cards or costs?
Your frame comes with unlimited photo storage, so no
additional photo storage is needed (e.g. no SD, ash
drives etc.)
Can I control the photo order?
Aura shuffles all of your added photos, but when you add
new ones they will usually be shown right away. You can
always use SHOW NOW to put a specic photo on the
frame at any time.
What settings can I change in the Aura app?
You can manage photos, name your frame, connect it to
WiFi, add members, adjust the slideshow, and more.
Is there a web uploader?
Yes, see auraframes.com/web-uploader
How can I control my frame from the Aura app?
When viewing photos, you have access to add photos,
scroll through your photos and additional features such as
SHOW NOW, HIDE, and POSITION.
What control features are on the frame?
Your Aura Frame features a Touch Bar on the top of the
frame. You can use it to advance the slideshow forward and
