In addition to snapping photos of the over 200 Pokémon found throughout the Lental Region in New Pokémon Snap, players have the opportunity to edit their photos with cosmetics like stickers, filters, and frames and share them with their friends and the broader Pokémon Snap community. Each kind of decorative item players can access through the Photo Editor is considered a collectible, and many of these will need to be unlocked as players progress the main story of New Pokémon Snap. Players can complete tasks and reach milestones to unlock and add a frame to their photographs.

Frames come in a variety of styles, from patterns of hearts and flowers, to effects like lens flares, vignettes, and snow or rain, to traditional photo frames and comic panels.

Here's how to unlock every frame in New Pokémon Snap.
