When uploading files to your Pix-Star account (web albums) or when sending pictures by email to your frame’s email address you use any size for your pictures. The Pix-Star will adapt automatically to the size it receives.
But there are a few things you need to take into account to better “optimize” your pictures uploads and sendings.
The resolution of the 10 & 15 inch is 1024×768 pixels, this means that:
– sending pictures that are bigger than 1024×768 is not necessary as they will be resized to the native resolution of the frame upon receiving them by the frame. So for optimising your files upload speed and email sending you may (if you have the possibility) resize them to lower resolution providing it is higher than 1024 x 768 pixels for the 10 & 15 inch.
– on the other hand, if you send or upload pictures that are SMALLER than 1024 x 768 pixels for the 10 &15 inch, then the frame will display them but they will display small on the screen. This is normal. They don’t have enough pixels to fill in the whole screen. Your Pix-Star doesn’t “stretch” pictures to fit the screen as the result is usually “ugly” and “pixelated”.
To summarize:
Try to send files with a resolution close to 1024 x 768 pixels for the 10 & 15 inch, but always above 1024 x 768 pixels for the 10 & 15 inch.
Enjoy your Pix-Star!
