Frame

Frame is where you compose a visual for a post: a shader-driven image card you can style, drop a screenshot onto, and export ready to ship.

note

Free to use Frame is free for everyone, no subscription required. Exports carry an MBER.app watermark, and subscribers get a toggle to remove it.

The Frame editor with canvas panel, shader settings, and output settings

The composer​

Frame has three surfaces:

  • A canvas panel in the top left shows your design live as you edit it, sized to whatever export resolution you pick.
  • A shader settings panel along the bottom chooses the background look and its controls.
  • An output settings panel on the right handles export size, an optional image overlay, and copy or download.

Choosing a shader​

The shader strip drives the background. Pick a Mode and tune it with the grouped sliders. Most modes have an Animate toggle for live motion, and a Shuffle button rerolls the current mode into a new random look.

Grain. Film-grain texture over a soft wave. Choose a Blob or Aurora wave, dial in intensity, size, density, contrast, and vignette, and flip Mono for a single-tone version.

Grain shader

Perlin. Layered noise with controls for scale, octaves, persistence, lacunarity, warp, contrast, and speed.

Firecloud. Billowing cloud with a glowing core: scale, intensity, detail, hotspot, vignette, and speed.

Gradient. A clean color gradient in Linear, Radial, or Conic shape, with angle, center, and radius controls depending on the shape.

Gradient shader

Pixel. A blocky, mosaic rendering of the palette with an adjustable cell size.

Color. A plain solid fill. Pick the color in the Color tab.

Colors​

The second tab (labelled Gradient, or Color when you are in Color mode) sets the palette:

  • For shader modes, pick a palette and fine-tune it in the stops editor, adding, moving, and recoloring stops along the gradient.
  • For Color mode, a single color picker sets the fill.

Adding an image overlay​

Drop a screenshot onto the canvas or press ⌘V inside the frame to paste one on top of the shader. Once an image is in place you get:

  • Position. Slide the overlay's X, Y, and Scale to place it on the background.
  • Bezel. Round the corners with Radius and lift it off the background with a drop Shadow.
  • Clear image removes the overlay and returns to a plain shader background.

Exporting​

The Output section sets the canvas size and gets the image out:

  • Pick an X preset (single image, 2-image, profile banner, banner 2×, or post HD), or type a custom width and height.
  • Copy puts the rendered image straight on your clipboard. If the browser blocks clipboard access, Frame downloads the file instead.
  • Download saves the image to disk.

Exports capture the current animated frame, so what you see on the canvas is what you get.

Working with ideas​

Frame can run in two modes:

  • Tied to an idea. Open Frame from a scheduled idea and it composes for that idea, saving your design automatically. A Saved indicator confirms each change, and a button takes you back to the Scheduler.
  • Scratch workspace. Open Frame on its own to experiment. Scratch designs are temporary and are not saved to an idea.
caution

Desktop only - Frame needs room to work, so it is disabled on phones and small tablets. To use it, open MBER on a larger screen.
