How To Create A Photo Template
A Photo Template in the Design Studio is a frame that can hold between one to four photo captures, traditionally for printing.
When designing a custom template, you can add and place up to four different placeholders for photo captures. The position in the design order and placement in the template can be adjusted, as well as the size of each placeholder.
Note: Unlike Overlays, Photo Templates have a background layer that is positioned behind all other design elements.

Placeholders
Along with uploading custom graphics, in Design Studio you can also create custom Template layouts with the use of Placeholders – layers which indicate where a guest's captures will automatically appear once the captures are taken. Each Template can have up to four (4) Placeholders added, and each one can be positioned and sized separately.

What To Know
Photo Template File Requirements
Photo Templates have four distinct sizes depending on the layout selected. These sizes determine the dimensions of your background and overlay files.
IMPORTANT: To ensure your design looks as intended, uploading the correct size for your background and/or Overlay is necessary.
If you upload a background/overlay that is different than the required size, it will be stretched or shrunk to fit the size of the Photo Template. This may cause the image to look pixelated or distorted.
