Frame vs. Background: Which to Choose

Before you create a campaign, you need to choose the formatting style that best fits your goals. Framvo currently offers two distinct campaign types: Frames and Backgrounds.

Frame Campaigns

A Frame campaign uses a transparent image overlay. When a supporter joins your campaign, their uploaded photo is placed behind your design.

Technical Requirements:

• File Type: Must be a PNG file.
• Transparency: Requires at least 5% transparent area (so the user’s photo can be seen through it).
• Max File Size: 5MB.
• Aspect Ratio: Square images are recommended for standard profile pictures, but any size is accepted.

Best Use Cases:

• Profile picture badges (e.g., “I Voted”, “Proud Supporter”).
• Decorative borders for holidays or special events.
• Transparent watermark logos.

Background Campaigns

A Background campaign uses a solid image. When a supporter joins your campaign, their uploaded photo is placed on top of your design.

Technical Requirements:

• File Types: Accepts PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WEBP.
• Transparency: No transparency is required (it acts as a solid canvas).
• Max File Size: 5MB.
• Aspect Ratio: Any size is accepted.

Best Use Cases:

• Themed backdrops for virtual events.
• Step-and-repeat style press banners.
• Creative collages where the supporter is dropped into a fun environment.
