Wireless chargers are great, but almost all of them are ugly and boring. That’s why Twelve South invented the PowerPic, an attractive photo frame that charges your iPhone — and any other Qi-compatible device — when you place it inside.

PowerPic looks like any other picture frame at first glance. It comes in black or white, and it looks right at home on any desk or bedside table. Just like any good frame, it lets you put your own photos inside — but that’s not all it’s good for.

PowerPic makes wireless charging pretty

PowerPic’s party trick is that it contains a hidden wireless charger that sits right behind your favorite photo. When you stand your iPhone or any other compatible device inside it, it charges up and looks incredibly cool while it’s doing it.

PowerPic supports any device that uses the Qi standard and is small enough to fit inside it. It can send power through cases up to 3mm thick, and delivers up to 10 watts of power, which is more than enough to “fast charge” the iPhone and other gadgets.

Built from New Zealand pine, the PowerPic holds any 5” x 7” photo and is priced at $79.99. You can order yours today from Twelve South and enjoy free shipping on all orders to the U.S.
