# Frame.from

Coerces a frame object into a [`Frame.Frame`](/api/Frame/types#frame).

Validates the frame and returns a copy, preserving literal types and the supplied numeric or named mode and flags. Omitted fields stay omitted; [`Frame.toTuple`](/api/Frame/toTuple) supplies their defaults when encoding.
