Everyday images
JPEG / JPG, PNG, BMP, ICO, WebP
Local decoding. Exact variants depend on the file and available decoders.
A place for your files
Familiar formats.
And the less familiar.
Start with your camera roll. Open specialty files from a file manager using Open with → Frame.
Android may not index every specialty image in the gallery. Decoding support and gallery visibility are different; opening a file directly can still work.
Images
From everyday camera photos to vector artwork and newer image formats.
Animated images
GIF, animated WebP, APNG
GIF and animated WebP can animate. Bounded APNG animations are supported; larger ones may show a still preview.
Vector images
SVG, SVGZ
Rendered locally as a bounded image. Scripts and browser interactions are not supported.
Additional images
TIFF / TIF, HEIF / HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL / JXL, JPEG 2000 / JP2 / J2K, QOI
TIFF displays its first page. HEIF, AVIF and JPEG XL currently display still images.
Photoshop previews
PSD
Merged previews of supported 8/16-bit RGB or grayscale files. No layer editing, PSB, CMYK/Lab, 32-bit or 16-bit ZIP-prediction support.
Camera RAW
DNG, CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, ORF, RW2, RAF and other supported LibRaw formats
Uses an embedded preview when available, or a sampled image. Compatibility varies by camera model and file; support for every model is not guaranteed.
Video
Local video containers played through Android’s available decoders.
Containers
MP4, fragmented MP4, MKV, WebM, MPEG-TS, MPEG-PS, FLV
The container alone does not determine playability. Its video and audio codecs, profile, resolution and frame rate must be supported by the device. Seeking varies by file.
HD & 4K
Device-dependent
Compatible 4K files can play on capable devices. Frame cannot add hardware codec support or guarantee smooth 4K playback on every phone.
Audio
Open an audio file directly from a file manager.
Audio formats
MP3, M4A, AAC / ADTS, WAV, FLAC, Ogg / Vorbis, Opus, AMR
Playback depends on the encoding and device decoder. Seekable files support saved-position resume. Audio pauses when the player leaves the foreground.
Subtitles
Choose a supported embedded track or your own subtitle file.
External subtitles
SRT, WebVTT / VTT
UTF-8 text, up to 2 MiB, chosen through Android’s file picker.
Embedded subtitles
Supported tracks inside the media file
Availability depends on the file and player support. Complex authored styling and vertical text may not be reproduced.
