Creating multiple frames at once

I'm wondering if there is any way to easily create a frame for, let's say a 100, images at once.
Or at least an easy tool to fast create a small flame to one or more images.
A plugin maybe?
Thanks

Could you please elaborate in more detail what you want to do?
What exactly do you mean with 'frame'?

Oh yes sure sorry. By frames I mean borders. I will put it in the original post.

AH I can't edit it.
BORDERS is what I meant!

Lightroom can not add borders to a photo - that is not what it is made for.
One exception though: You can use the print module and print with a framing or print to jpg from there.

So there is no way to create a simple border to images before exporting them?
Is it possible to combine it (lightroom) with another program in order to achieve that? Like, photoshop?

Yup.

I'm not a PS pro .. find out yourself with the help of Google or ask in PS or PSE forum.
PSE has some easy ways to add what you want. https://www.google.ch/search?q=photoshop+elemnts+add+border&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_r...

Lightroom can be used to add Frame/Borders (with some extra work!) to images using the Print module.
- You can download images of frames/borders from the internet (or photograph frames)
- Edit the image in Photoshop (or other software) of the 'Frame' to delete and have transparency in the center,
- Save the 'Frame' as a PNG type file. (Essential to preserve the transparency)
- In Lightroom select you image to print and
- Add the Frame.PNG as a Graphic Identity plate.
- Resize the Identity plate to suit the image.
- Send to your ink-jet printer, or make a JPG.
Note: the PNG image you use for the identity plate needs to be in the same ratio (eg. 8x10) as the image crop ratio.
For simpler borders- there is other software: (as above -Photoshop, Elements, etc)
XnConvert has lots of border 'Actions' possible XnConvert · Powerfull Batch Converter
If you have Nik plugins- Silver Efex and Color Efex have some framing/border effects.

And to reply to the OP question- "100 images at once"
Yes- If you set up the identity plate as above and then save your print design as a TEMPLATE.
You can then add any photo under the template. Select 100 if you want! and batch print the lot.
Again note you will need the images cropped to the same ratio as the Identity Plate image.

See the link below for Lightroom Mogrify Plug-in which has features to create multiple borders. However this works as an export from Lightroom and will create additional files.
