The "Template Settings" section is the interface used to adjust the size and position of photos and to add digital frames and stickers. In the "Output Size" section, you can set the dimensions of your photo. If you are going to print, we recommend entering your paper dimensions as 6x4 or 6x8. For digital-only work, you can also choose 1280x1280, 1080x1920, or 1280x720.

To add digital frames and stickers to your photos, click the "Add Image" button above.
