Go to pix-star.com in your browser and click on the \u201cRegister a new frame\u201d option near the top of the page (next to the login button).To find your frame\u2019s serial number, turn on your Pix-Star digital frame. From the main menu, click on the \u201csettings\u201d option. In the left-hand panel, scroll down to and select the \u201cAbout\u201d page. The third line of the page should be the \u201cSerial Number\u201d. Type the serial number into the \u201cMy Pix-Star Serial Number (S\/N)\u201d field back on the web interface and click the \u201cCheck availability\u201d button.This will check the frame\u2019s serial number and make sure it hasn\u2019t already been registered. If there is an issue now, click on the \u201cContact us\u201d link below the field for assistance. Once you move to the next page, follow the instruction to complete the registration setup.Note that your Pix-Star frame should be connected to the internet throughout this process.

  2. Select the external pictures to import<\/strong>

    Once you\u2019ve registered and connected your Pix-Star frame, you should see it listed at the top of the main pix-star.com page. Click on your frame\u2019s box (check that it\u2019s marked as \u201cstatus: online\u201d) to be taken to the dashboard.This is the interface where you can manage all your frame\u2019s settings and slideshows remotely, import external photos & web albums, add reminders, and much more. Under the \u201cDashboard\u201d side-panel heading, scroll down to find the \u201cweb albums\u201d section. This is where you\u2019ll import and download photos from online sources such as social media and photo-sharing platforms.Under the \u201cWeb album\u201d heading, click on the \u201cImport external pictures\u201d. This will take you to a screen that lists all the platforms that are supported by the frame.

You can link the same album to multiple frames \u2013 so long as they are registered and you have a multi-frame account.It might take some time to sync all the selected albums to your Pix-Star frame, so don\u2019t fret if you don\u2019t see them on the frame straight away. The amount of time this takes depends on the number of photos in the album and the file size of each.
