# 9Pic Buzz

> Add branded photo frames and overlays to boost social sharing.

<Warning>
  9Pic Buzz is a **Pro plan** feature (available on Pro and Enterprise). On Trial and Pay-as-you-go plans it shows a lock in the event product nav. If it stays locked after upgrading, email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) to switch it on for your organisation.
</Warning>

## Overview

9Pic Buzz adds branded photo frames and overlays to event photos, creating eye-catching, share-ready images. Buzz has two tabs: **Overview** (promo frame status) and **Branding** (configure the frame).

Open it from an event's product navigation: **9pic Buzz**.

## What Buzz Does

* **Branded frames** — overlay your event or sponsor branding on participant photos.
* **Preview before publishing** — check how the frame looks on real photos.
* **Higher shareability** — frames make photos more recognisable when participants post them.

## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm your plan">

  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your frame">
    On the **Branding** tab, upload your frame art or select a template, then save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview">
    Use the preview to confirm the frame looks right before it goes out to participants.

## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I use my own frame art?">
    Yes. Upload custom art when configuring the promo frame on the Branding tab.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Buzz consume extra credits?">
    Buzz is a branding overlay. Credit usage is driven by photo processing, not by adding a frame.
