Transform your photos for perfect display on the Samsung Frame TV with our easy-to-use Photo Formatter. This free online tool helps you convert regular photos into the ideal 16:9 aspect ratio (3840×2160 pixels) that Samsung Frame TVs require for optimal display.

Whether you’re struggling with portrait photos, dealing with different image sizes, or just want your pictures to look their best in Art Mode, our formatter lets you precisely position and adjust your images with a simple drag-and-drop interface.

No more awkward cropping or black bars – just beautifully formatted photos that make your Frame TV look like a professional art display.

A Little Too Dark

A Little Too Dark

Welcome to Middletown Middle School, where the unexplained is just another subject on the schedule. When fourteen-year-old Sam inherits a mysterious box of stories from Walter, a ninety-two-year-old neighbor who passes away, he uncovers nine chilling tales spanning over 150 years. Each story reveals another dark secret about Kansas's most enigmatic school - a place where janitors serve eternal contracts, mascots come alive, and even the school bus might be haunted. From Civil War deserters to robot uprisings, from ghostly face painters to mysterious creatures lurking in the woods, these interconnected stories paint a portrait of a school that's much more than just brick and mortar. It's a place where the impossible becomes probable, where the past never truly dies, and where every strange occurrence leads back to the same shadowy halls. Perfect for fans of Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, this anthology weaves together horror, history, and heart in a uniquely midwestern tapestry of terror. Step through these haunted halls... if you dare.
