This step-by-step guide teaches you how to send photos to a digital frame from iPhone. We\u2019re going to focus on the Pix-Star digital picture frame, but this general process can be used across most digital photo frames that have an iOS compatible mobile app and Wi-Fi capabilities. In Pix-Star\u2019s case, the iPhone sends the pictures to the frame\u2019s unique email address, which in turn is saved to the Pix-Star frame\u2019s internal storage. Let\u2019s get into the steps below!<\/p>

  1. Download the Pix-Star Snap Mobile App<\/strong>

    \"Pix-StarThe Pix-Star Snap mobile app is Pix-Star\u2019s dedicated app that\u2019s used to send pictures, videos, and audio messages directly to your frame. It\u2019s unique in the sense that you can send up to 250 images to multiple frames at the same time. You can also send videos and audio notes without needing to pay for any recurring subscription fees (as with Nixplay and Skylight).The Pix-Star Snap mobile app is compatible with both iOS and Android. You can use it on phones and tablets without issue. Search for \u201cPix-Star Snap\u201d in either the Play Store or the App Store and download & install it. When you first open the app and try to use any of the functions, you may be prompted to grant permission that lets the app access the gallery, camera, etc.Note that the iOS version of the Pix-Star Snap mobile app has a slightly different layout to the Android version. You\u2019ll need to add your Pix-Star to the first screen (the app\u2019s home screen). The Android version only requires you to add the receiving frames after selecting the media you want to send.Pix-Star\u2019s app will remember all added frames and they simply need to be selected from the list of added frames. You don\u2019t need to re-add the frame every time you send pictures.To add your Pix-Star frame to the iOS app, click on the \u201c+\u201d symbol at the top right of the app\u2019s opening screen. Put in your frame\u2019s unique email address and nickname then click \u201cAdd\u201d. Click on the frame\u2019s name from the list and move onto the next step.<\/p> <\/li>

You can review all the photos you want to send before the final sending.Note that it can take a few minutes for the photos to fully send, receive, and save on your Pix-Star depending on the size and number of photos.
