The Two Golden Rules
Critical
Mess these up and your frame won't work — seriously.
1
Keep photo areas transparent
Photo Zone = Transparent.
No white fill, no background colour, nothing.
It's okay to have some elements intentionally over the photo zone, but try not to overdo it — as it may cover the faces.

2
Don't cover the QR code area
Don't forget that a QR code will be printed on the photo — up to you whether you want to put elements there, but it will only show on the digital version.

Design Checklist
Check these off before you export.

Export Specs
| Spec | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Format | PNG only Not JPG, not PSD, not PDF |
| Resolution | 300 PPI recommended |
| Frame layouts | Export at both 1200 × 1800 px and 600 × 900 px |
| Icon | 110 × 110 px |
Sanity check: open your exported files and make sure they're actually the right dimensions. Photoshop / Illustrator sometimes does weird things on export.
File naming convention:
Example:
[group]-[layout]-[size].pngExample:
bts-standard-1200x1800.png, bts-couple-600x900.png, bts-icon-110x110.png
07
Frame Validator
Test your frames before submitting — drop your PNGs and get instant feedback on specs, transparency, overlap, and QR clearance.
08
Submission Checklist
Do not submit until every box is ticked
Incomplete submissions will be sent back — save yourself a round trip.
Submission format: Place all design files in a single folder — don't separate by layout type. Attach a screenshot of the Frame Validator showing all checks passed.
