Framo documentation
Guides and reference for Framo, the AI-native design workspace for generating and editing images, video, and 3D models on an infinite canvas.
Concepts
The mental models: surfaces, how generation works, credits and billing.
- Plans, Credits & OrganizationsHow credits, plans, top-ups, and organization (contract) billing work.
- Choosing a ModelMatch a task — image, edit, video, 3D, upscale, or training — to the right model family, grounded in the live model registry.
- Getting StartedThe big picture. Surfaces (Home, Board, 2D Editor, 3D Editor, Video, chat), how generation works, and where to get help.
Features
How each part of Framo works, surface by surface.
- AgentsAgents you set up once — skills, models, inputs, memory — and chat with inside the editor to design, generate and act on your board.
- Sign-in, Account & Public PagesSign in or create an account, accept an org invite, and find Framo's public pages.
- Blender BridgeSend models from Blender into Framo with the Framo Bridge add-on — into the Add 3D Model window, or live into a 3D Editor scene that updates with every send.
- Board Extras — Notes & Screen-shareAdd sticky notes and a live screen-share capture as inputs on the board.
- Chat Bar — Generating ImagesWrite prompts, pick models, and add references, LoRAs, looks, and aspect ratios in the floating chat bar.
- 2D Canvas EditorThe pixel/vector editor: layers, painting, symmetry, pen/shape vector tools, selections, filters, and warp.
- 3D Editor — Lenses, Depth of Field & BokehThe 3D Editor's lens library — 24 lenses modelled on real ones, from a modern 85 mm portrait lens to an 1839 daguerreotype lens on orthochromatic film — and how focal length, aperture, bokeh, vignetting and film work together, with which lens to pick for which look.
- 3D EditorThe 3D Editor. Build a scene from primitives, lights, cameras, fog and imported models, edit and paint meshes, view it Simple, Realistic or Ray traced, bake light, animate a camera path, and share it.
- Image AI ToolsOne-click AI operations on an image node — upscale, remove background, reframe, new angles, image-to-3D.
- Training & Using LoRAsTrain a custom AI model on your own images, then call it in generations with a trigger word.
- Framo Knowledge MCP ServerConnect an AI agent to Framo's knowledge base over the Model Context Protocol.
- Boards, Media Library & StockCreate and open boards, manage your image/video library, pull in stock photos, and move media to the board.
- Sharing, Public Viewer & DropsShare a board with a public link, inspect layers in the viewer, clone it, and feature it on Drops.
- Sketch to Image, Copy Design & EnhanceTurn sketches into images, copy a design, trace line art to vectors, and refine or reverse prompts.
- Video to VideoSelect a clip in the chat bar's Video category to edit it, retake a section, extend it, make a new clip guided by it, or move a character the way it moves.
- Generating VideosAnimate a still (image-to-video) or compose from references (reference-to-video) via the assistant, with per-clip confirmation; editing a clip is video-to-video in the chat bar.
- Workflows (Automation)Turn a chain of edits on the board into a reusable flow, save it, and run it on other images from the chat bar's Workflows mode.
Playbooks
Step-by-step walkthroughs that chain features together end to end.
- Character / design lock → multi-scene video seriesLock a subject with an agent skill, carry the reference forward, and render a multi-scene series.
- Image → Video (I2V) and Reference-to-VideoAnimate a selected image into a clip, or compose video from multiple references.
- Import a 3D model → material → lighting → render → saveBring a model onto the board, set its look and lighting, frame it, render, and export.
- Matrix → Crop — variations from one generationGenerate a grid of variations in a single image, then crop the keepers out as separate nodes.
- Prompt polish → Generate → Batch variantsRefine a prompt with AI, set a batch count, and sweep a parameter across variants.
- Sign up → create org → start generatingCreate an account, set up an organization, and run your first generation.
- Sketch → Image → 3D → ShareDraw a sketch, turn it into an image, generate a 3D mesh, then share the board.
- Stock image → board → render → organizeFind a stock photo, place it, refine it with AI tools, then group and arrange.
- Train a LoRA → mention trigger word → compose multiple LoRAsTrain a LoRA, invoke its trigger word in a prompt, and stack several LoRAs in one generation.
