In this guide, we\u2019re going to show you how to transfer pictures from a computer to a digital picture frame<\/a> in just 5 steps.

Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>

  1. Register your new digital picture frame<\/strong>

You\u2019ll then be prompted for your frame\u2019s serial number. This can be found on your frame in Settings > About.Once you\u2019ve input the frame\u2019s serial number and followed the remaining registration steps, you\u2019ll be redirected back to the main page on which you landed. If you have any issues during the registration process, make sure your Pix-Star frame is online and connected to Wi-Fi. If issues persist, restart the frame by removing it from power and plugging it back in.<\/p> <\/li>

  2. Login into your frame\u2019s web dashboard<\/strong>

    \"\"Once your Pix-Star frame<\/a> has been registered, you\u2019re ready to login into its web dashboard. Click on the \u201cLogin\u201d button at the top of the display. Input your frame\u2019s login information (these were created during the initial setup process) and proceed. You will then be taken to your frame\u2019s web dashboard. If you chose to log into your multi-frame control account (if you bought more than one Pix-Star frame), you\u2019ll be directed to the web dashboard for all your Pix-Star frames.Take a couple of minutes to get familiar with the layout, features, and functions that the web dashboard support. Pix-Star\u2019s web dashboard<\/a> lets you remotely control your frame, import photos from social media, photo-sharing, and online storage platforms. You can manage cloud storage, start slideshows, etc. Most pertinently though, it\u2019s where you can import photos directly from your computer to your Pix-Star frame wirelessly.<\/p> <\/li>

  3. Import photos from your computer wirelessly<\/strong>

    \"\"In the left-hand panel, locate the \u201cWeb Albums\u201d sub-heading. Here you can manage your web albums, import new albums from social media & photo-sharing sites, update existing albums, and more. You can also create a new folder to which photos directly from your computer will be imported.Click on \u201cImport external pictures\u201d and you\u2019ll be taken to the web album main interface. Scroll down to the section that says \u201cor create a new Pix-Star album and connect it to your frame instantly:\u201d and click on \u201cCreate a new album\u201d. Give your new album a name (make sure your Pix-Star frame is online and connected to Wi-Fi) and click \u201cCreate Album\u201d.On the next screen, click on \u201cSelect file(s) and start the upload\u201d. A file explorer window will open. Browse your computer to select the photo albums and pictures to add to your newly created album and click \u201cOpen\u201d. It\u2019s better if you put all the desired folders and files into a single location beforehand.All the selected photos will then be synced to your frame. Here you can even choose to play the current selection in a slideshow on your Pix-Star frame by clicking on \u201cPlay selection on frame\u201d from the row of options under the title. Note that all web albums are saved to your Pix-Star frames internal storage and are accessible offline. Synced photos are marked with a green dot; whereas pending photos are marked with a red dot.<\/p> <\/li>

  4. Copy photos from your computer to a USB\/SD card<\/strong>

    \"Pix-StarAnother option that doesn\u2019t require internet access is to use a USB\/SD card. Insert a supported USB\/SD card into your computer and drag & drop all the photos, videos, and audio files you want to view on your Pix-Star frame. Try to match the photo resolution with the frame\u2019s native resolution and aspect ratio. Videos & audio files should also be in supported formats (common formats are supported by Pix-Star).Take that USB\/SD card and insert it into your Pix-Star digital picture frame<\/a>. Give it a few short moments to read & register the drive. A popup will show on your Pix-Star frame\u2019s display with 3 options. The first option is \u201cLaunch a slideshow of all the USB pictures\u201d. This starts a slideshow with every picture saved on the USB\/SD card without needing to copy any of them to the frame\u2019s internal storage.The second option is \u201cOpen the USB & browse files inside\u201d. Here you can select which files and folders to copy to your frame\u2019s storage. This is probably a better option if you have a large number of photos or a mixture of copied and uncopied pictures.The final option is \u201cCopy the whole USB device to internal memory\u201d. This copies everything on the frame including videos & audio files. You can then move the photos around on the frame, start slideshows from specific folders and files, etc. Make sure you have enough storage space for all of the photos, or the last to be copied might be cut off when space runs out.<\/p> <\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\n\n\n
