Abstract: A self leveling picture frame assembly for automatically leveling a picture includes a picture frame defining a viewing space to display a picture. An insert is insertable into the picture frame to retain the picture in the picture frame. A leveling chamber is integrated into the insert and the leveling chamber contains a leveling fluid. The total quantity of leveling fluid is substantially less than a volume of the leveling chamber thereby facilitating the leveling fluid to travel freely in the leveling chamber. Moreover, the leveling fluid collects in the lowest point of the leveling chamber when the picture frame is hung on a vertical support surface. In this way the leveling fluid can level the picture frame on the vertical support surface.
