# Window and browser frames

Give an area shot a title bar, or a browser frame with your link in the address bar. Auto-balance evens out the margins.

## What it is

An area shot has nothing around it. A frame gives it one: Window adds a title bar drawn by Clacky, Browser adds an address bar with your link if you type one.

Auto-balance trims empty margins left by a quick crop, so the shot sits in the middle with even padding all round.

## How to use it

1.  1
    
    Open the shot in Polish
    
    In the screenshot editor, pick Polish (⌘B).
    
2.  2
    
    Pick a frame
    
    In the Frame section, choose None, Window or Browser.
    
3.  3
    
    Add your link
    
    With Browser, type the address in Address (optional).
    
4.  4
    
    Even the margins
    
    Open More… and turn on Auto-balance.
    

## Tips

-   Inset, under More…, adds a border in the shot’s own edge colour, so a rough crop looks intended.

## Questions

Is the address bar a real browser screenshot?

No. Clacky draws it, with the address you type.

Can I frame a collage?

Frames are for single shots; a collage has its own Nice look.
