Have you ever needed to create frames around multiple objects and found using the right-click → Create frame over-and-over to be tedious and wished you could frame them all in a single click? Now you can using Framer! (now v2.0)
Table of Contents
How Framer works
- Select one or more objects
- Execute Framer 2.0 from the app/content creation toolbar and how you’ll have a frame around each selected object.
Use cases
- Quickly present (and collaborate on) a PowerPoint on a Miro board in interactive presentation mode – add your PPTX document to the board, extract all pages, select all pages, and Frame them.
- Quickly frame and export a number of objects as a PDF, e.g., annotated PDF pages that you had already extracted.

A note on the order in which Framer creates frames
Framer looks at all of the objects you have selected for framing and considers their order on the board from left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
Tip: Use the Auto Layout tool to prep your objects for Framing:

A few last notes
- This app isn’t currently published in the Miro Marketplace, but I plan on submitting it once I add some more features (and a UI).
- Framer will not put a frame around a frame (we heard it could an infinite loop in the space time continuum, leading to the destruction of the matrix).
