Transparent photo frame PNG

The studio has always drawn the frame separately from the picture: the photo on a canvas, the frame as vector paths over it. Saving the frame on its own is therefore the same drawing with the photo left out and the opening cleared to full transparency — not a cut-out of a finished picture. This page opens with Save set to Frame only, so the file you get is an overlay ready for another editor, a slide or a web page.

Any of the frames on the shelf can be saved this way, at the size and proportions of the photo you open, of a fit target, or of a typed width and height. Choose PNG or WebP for pixels, or SVG for frames that are pure geometry — the exact string the site’s frame validator checks on every build, with any caption face inlined. A matching opening mask, white where the picture shows, is one more option for tools that want one.

1. 1Open any photo to set the size; pick a frame from the shelf.
2. 2Style it — colours, width, caption — as usual.
3. 3Under Save, keep Frame only and choose PNG, WebP or SVG, or pick Opening mask.
4. 4Save. The opening is fully clear in the file.

• A frame that follows a picture — the sticker outline — has nothing to save on its own, so Frame only is unavailable for it.
• In an SVG the caption face is embedded, which adds about 50 KB per face used.

Why do I need to open a photo to get a frame?

The photo sets the frame’s proportions and size, so the overlay fits it exactly. To make a frame of a particular size without a photo in mind, open any picture and set Fit to Custom size with the width and height you want.

Why is there no JPG option?

JPG cannot store transparency, so the opening would be filled with a colour and the overlay would not be an overlay. PNG and WebP keep it clear; SVG keeps it as paths.

What is in the SVG file?

The same vector frame the studio draws: paths, gradients and patterns, with any caption face inlined so the file needs nothing else. Shadows, the blurred fill and outlines are canvas pixels, so they are not in an SVG; the PNG carries them.

What is the opening mask for?

Some editors want an overlay and a separate mask to place a photo behind it. The mask is a PNG the same size as the frame, white exactly where the opening is and black everywhere else.
