eZ-Frame1.1

eZ-Frame is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you display random images on your screen and set them as your wallpaper with ease.

Minimalist view

The tool reveals a small panel on your screen which shows a thumbnail preview of the images stored in a user-defined folder. It automatically creates a slideshow with all of them and allows you to pause the process or go to the next or previous picture.A help manual is not included in the package but you can get an idea about how the program works in no time because its features are highly intuitive.

Configuration settings

The tweaking parameters can be accessed by right-clicking on the minimalist panel. You are allowed to upload the current photo to your Facebook account (you need to set up the authentication parameters). In addition, you may upload images with custom captions to your Facebook page.What’s more, eZ-Frame gives you the possibility to open the current image via your default viewer, set photos as your wallpaper (stretched, tiled or centered), and open the output directory where the pictures are saved directly from the main window.A few configuration settings hidden under the hood are implemented for helping you automatically change the pictures displayed in the slideshow at a custom number of seconds, set up the maximum frame dimension, select the source folder where the images are kept, reveal photos in a random order, as well as scan subdirectories.

Bottom line

All things considered, eZ-Frame comes packed with several basic features for helping you view images from your personal collection displayed in a slideshow, and is suitable especially for rookies. On the downside, the application has not been updated for a while so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems. We have tested it on Windows 8.1 Pro and it crashed several times.
