Image & Photo Tools

Add Border & Frame to Image

Add a solid border, padding or polaroid-style frame around a photo.

Privacy

Your images never leave your device. Files are decoded and redrawn by your own browser using the Canvas API, so nothing is uploaded, queued or logged.

Tips

  • A white border makes photographs read as prints and helps them stand out against a dark feed.
  • The polaroid style leaves a deep bottom edge, which is the traditional place for a caption.
  • Borders increase the image dimensions. Add the border last, after resizing to the size you actually need.

Frequently asked questions

Does the border change the aspect ratio?

Yes. An even border keeps it close, but the polaroid style deliberately does not. If a platform needs an exact ratio, run the result through the social media resizer afterwards.
