Bloomin8 has a new take on e-ink frames

The Bloomin8 E‑ink Canvas, which is launching in a new smaller size at CES 2026, is an ultra-low-power e-ink display that you can set to show your own photos (including from Google Photos) or other art of your choosing.

Similar to products like Aura, the e-ink offers paper-like visuals, but it doesn’t have a backlight or glow. As a result, the device is cordless, offering one to three years of battery life, instead of just weeks. Plus, with the companion app, you can use AI to generate imagery for your frames, schedule when the photos change, and more.

The company’s Kickstarter was in March and had over 2,000 backers, with the devices shipping before Christmas 2025. Currently, the frames come in 13.3″ and 28.5″ but a smaller 10″ frame is soon launching for a sub-$200 price point.
