1. Share the URL directly: Copy the page URL from your browser and send it to others
2. Bookmark for later: Save the URL to recreate the same frame design anytime
3. Share on social media: Post the link so others can use your frame design

Anyone who opens your shared link will see the same frame design with all your customizations (colors, text, fonts, etc.). They can then upload their own photo to create their version.
