About

Aurora Live

Frame Kits turns a captured moment from your live Aurora into a coordinated set of phone, square and desktop images. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Frame Kits from the live canvas and capture the current Aurora. The source is frozen for this editing session. 2. Name the kit, inspect each format and adjust the shared crop position. The optional composition guide stays in the preview only. 3. Build the kit, inspect the saved PNGs and share them with the manifest. Set wallpaper manually in system settings. The live Metal canvas, touch and optional sound response, palettes, photo palette extraction, Moments, ambient display, Composition Lab, keyframe sequencer and existing captures remain available. A failed kit build cleans its incomplete output; unreadable library files are preserved. WHAT TO KNOW Choose phone 1440 ร— 2560, square 2048 ร— 2048 and desktop 2560 ร— 1440 PNGs. Cropping preserves proportions and may upscale captured pixels. Each output is reopened to verify dimensions and bytes; saved hashes are checked again before sharing. Verification does not certify print color, display appearance or authorship. The source capture is not separately retained after this editing session. Up to 20 kits are kept locally. iPhone and iPad.
