Preloading content for your Nixplay gift
Make your Nixplay gift even more meaningful by preloading it with photos, videos, and a personalized message - all before it's delivered or handed over to your loved one!
There's no need to wait for the frame to arrive or to open it to load it, just remotely set up a gift album using our mobile app and the album's content will play once the frame is plugged in and set up.
Note
When preloading content to a gift album, our system will automatically generate a Nixplay account for the gift recipient using their preferred email address

The gift recipient will be prompted to enter this combination on their frame's screen once it has been turned on and connected to wifi.
