LG · THE FRAME STUDIO GUIDE

How to add your own photos and art to LG Gallery+

Choose the photo source supported by your LG TV, with a clear distinction between Gallery+ and older Gallery menus.

The quick answer

Open LG Gallery+, sign into your LG Account, and use Photos with a supported source: LG ThinQ, a linked Google Photos account, or connected external storage.

Applies to: LG Gallery TV and other compatible TVs with Gallery+ on webOS 25 or later. Availability depends on the model and country; older Gallery instructions are separate.

Before you start

  • Your downloaded artwork
  • An LG Account for Gallery+
  • A supported photo source shown by your TV

Prepare the artwork before you transfer it

Download the finished image, rather than taking a screenshot of its preview. For a landscape 4K TV, Frame Studio prepares a 3840 × 2160 JPEG. Open the download once to check that it contains the artwork you want, with the crop you intended.

Keep an unedited original. Give the TV copy a recognizable name, such as olive-coast-4k.jpg, so it is easy to find beside your family photos. If you added a border to the file, remember that a second matte on the TV will make the artwork smaller.

Choose where the photo comes from

LG lists three photo sources: a mobile device connected through LG ThinQ, Google Photos with your Google Account linked, and connected external devices. Use the source offered by your TV; pairing screens and storage support vary.

For a phone transfer, save the file where the photo picker can see it. For Google Photos, keep a separate album containing only the artwork you want on display. For external storage, put an easily identified copy of the image on the drive and check the model’s supported formats first.

Finish the presentation on the TV

While Gallery+ content plays, the on-screen downward control opens options for settings such as slideshow timing and background music. Available controls depend on the model.

Choose the composition first, then review the room at its normal lighting level. A border in the exported JPEG stays part of the image; if it looks too wide alongside the TV’s presentation, make a new export from your original.

If the photo or app is missing

Confirm that the selected source actually contains the image. A photo in your phone’s Files folder is not automatically in Google Photos, and signing into an LG Account does not by itself select a Google album.

If Gallery+ is absent, check your model’s software and regional support. If you see a paid catalog offer, review which feature it applies to before subscribing. Your Frame Studio account prepares artwork independently of LG’s TV services.
