Download pictures from pc to Pandigital Frame I have a Dell laptop 15R Inspiron, with windows 7. I am having trouble downloading my pictures from PC to Digital Fram ( P17002AW- P17002AWFR-P17002AWEU).
It’s very confusing.
Pandigital Picture Frame Software
For one thing, for some reason, the owner’s manual is tiny and it’s REALLY hard to read. It’s only about 4”” by 4” with correspondingly tiny lettering. I’m looking for something online that I can actually read. On the back of the unit it says the model is PAN3502W02. I can’t find anything with that model number online. I found a PAN*1*1502W02, but it says it’s a 15 inch frame and this is not anywhere near a 15 inch frame. More like a 6 inch frame.
I also got this tiny little CD. It says it’s an installation CD, which I would assume would be for my computer but….it’s really tiny! It’s only 3 inches across. It doesn’t sit in my disk tray, so I can’t imagine what I’m supposed to do with it.
Also, it was blathering on about inserting a memory card which contained your pictures….but how in the world do I get my pics out of my computer and on to a memory card that’s not the same size as what I use in my camera?
I did find a USB cable, which was a relief, because I’m assuming that means I can download from my computer directly into the internal memory of the thang….but since I can’t use the installation disc I’m stuck.
I’m really confused, as you may be able to tell by my rambling here.
Anyone have any experience with these things?
Thanks!

Maybe the instructions for other models are the same, or at least close enough. Have you tried these?

Also, avoid their software if possible. Not that theirs is bad (I have no idea) but many cameras/scanners/printers/etc work very well without extra software.
The manufacturers programs are added bloat which can slow your machine down or interfere with normal function.
There is a good chance the frame simply shows up as a drive when you plug in the USB, and you can copy JPG files directly onto it.
@jaytkay Thanks. That’s exactly what’s happening. I’m able to transfer directly from the computer onto the photo frame by clicking and dragging. However, I figured out what the business is about the card. Without it the thing only holds two pictures, pretty much like a camera. So now I suppose I have to pay $50 to get a card for it…....
You can probably save much smaller copies of the images for the digital frame, and fit more inside.
It looks like your target size is 320×240.

XP…I don’t see anything that will allow me to re size my pics when I open them up. I can download them to photobucket and re size them that way, but I really want to see the thing work before I die!!
XP, cool! Microsoft has a super-simple image resizer. (There’s a copy for Vista and Windows 7 but I have not tried it). Once the software is installed, you can right-click on a file (or several files) and choose “Resize”.
Download from this page (look for “ImageResizer.exe” on the right-hand side) – Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP.
And here’s a guide to using it – Resize digital pictures quickly
For anyone interested, the Vista/Windows 7 copy of this program, which is not from Microsoft, is here: http://www.codeplex.com/ImageResizer
Try this http://www.getpaint.net/
It is free and open source.

OK, it’s installed…but now I can’t find it! I assumed it would save to my desk top, but it didn’t. I did a system search for Powertoys, and found something in my accessories, but it just says “read me.” I can’t find the actual program to use it…..
If you right-click on a JPG file, does the pop-up menu include “Resize Pictures”?
There will be nothing in Program files or Start Menu, just the right-click.
@jaytkay Excellent! That was it exactly. So far I’m up to 16 pics on my digital frame. I can’t thank you enough!
(Boy, I sure have a thing with taking pictures of Kids in Trees….. :)
Glad it works. That is a great tool, Your question led me to the updated version for Vista or Windows , I was very happy to find that.
@jaytkay You know, this Q got modded by the ever wonderful Augustalan (not being sarcastic either. She’s so cool and understanding in her moderating)....by that time I’d almost figured it out, and almost deleted the question. I’m SO glad I didn’t! I’ve learned more geek stuff from these online networking sites than I ever even knew existed!
Answer this question
This question is in the General Section. Responses must be helpful and on-topic.
Walk the halls of my mother-in-law’s home and the one thing you will find is a plethora of pictures and collages framed along the walls. She is a proud daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother, and the years are laid out in a splendid array of frames, big and small, thick and thin, wood and metal, painted and unfinished. The only kind of frame she is missing is a digital frame. This oversight isn’t a fear of technology, it is uncertainty over which to buy.
Digital photo frames come in many sizes and price ranges. How does one go about finding the perfect one? Up until now it all depended on pixel resolution, size, brand, and price, all of which can be confusing to the average consumer. I have tried my fair share and still can’t recommend one for my mother-in-law to purchase. Until now.
A Frame with an Inbox
The Pandigital Photo Mail Digital Photo Frame is different from any frames I have ever set up. It was as simple and easy as plugging it into the wall and inserting a memory card or thumb drive. The menus can be navigated with buttons on the rear of the frame or with the included remote, which stores out of sight with a magnet on the rear of the frame. The menus themselves are straight forward and simple to navigate with several options to play pictures (.jpg or .jpeg), music (.mp3), video (.avi), or pictures with music overlay. Images, music, and video can be copied from the memory device directly into internal memory to allow viewing without any attached external memory. The frame can also be connected to a computer with a miniUSB cable to be opened like a mass storage device, allowing files to be transferred both to and from the internal memory. What sets the Pandigital Photo Mail apart from other digital frames is the feature that provides the frame the name: the frame comes with an assigned email address and the inbox is built into the software, accessible from the main menu.
Yes, this frame receives emailed photos directly on the frame. The Pandigital Photo Mail connects to AT&T’s Edge network and claims no subscription is necessary, nor is a Wi-Fi or computer connection required, though a Wi-Fi adapter is sold separately. What you do pay for, however, is the photo downloads. This is not email downloads, but image downloads; each email is allotted 30MB for images, in any number combination from one image to several, as long as the maximum attachments total no more than 30MB. The first one hundred image downloads are included in the purchase price of the frame with additional download packages available through the email menu or the Pandigital website. Once an image is downloaded, the email is deleted, clearing space for more emails in the inbox.
Additional Features
In addition to the email, the Pandigital Photo Mail comes equipped with a customizable greeting, a calendar view, a clock, and an alarm function. The clock can be turned on to display over the pictures while a sleep function can turn the frame off over three preset settings: two, four, and eight hours. The frame can even be programmed to power on and off for two separate time tables: daily each weekday and over the weekend.
The Pandigital Photo Mail’s image downloads do have a few downsides: there is no image preview, so the pictures are only seen after downloading; multiple image emails must be downloaded all at once, decreasing the overall available downloads by one download per image; and the mail inbox only shows the first twenty emails, which means emails will need to be downloaded or deleted in order to view any additional emails. The email address’ unique string of letters and numbers is preassigned, cannot be altered, and can be a little difficult to memorize, but it does come listed on the back of the frame for easy reference.
Pandigital Photo Frame Software Download
The Pandigital Photo Mail’s email service only works inside the fifty states, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, and the only limitation beyond this is the AT&T’s Edge network coverage; the frames will still work as simple digital frames outside the United States, however the email will not connect to the server to update the inbox.

With the ability to email pictures directly to the frame, I can easily recommend the Pandigital Photo Mail Digital Photo Frame to my mother-in-law or any relative. The upside to this frame? Surprising them with vacation photos and baby updates before they start nagging.
