Frame is an image to demonstrate your product or used for the mockup purpose. It is the last layer of a design, serves as a nice preview; the final production design file will not include the Frame after rendering.

UPLOAD FRAME


You have two ways to upload Frames:
Upload in your Resources Menu

Upload directly in Define Design:
Hit the Frame button to open Frame Library.


In the Frame Library, you can directly drag and drop or click on the uploading area to upload a frame.
However, to make it easier for you to manage your Frame in the future, we recommend you to create a Product Type first.

Step 4: Click Open to upload.
Wait until the upload is completed and the new frame(s) will show up in the Frame Library.

One product only has ONE frame, and cannot be changed to match each variant.
Frame must be locked before it can be utilized on the front-store. (However, it's always locked in the app by default).

For Pillow, Blanket, Canvas..., we can use a gray border frame (the above example), which is used to demonstrate the edge of product or printing area. Other products can apply this kind of mask:
For Ornament, Necklace..., we can use a colorful background/ image as frame, for mockup purpose. Consider the following example:
