Add Border puts a frame or padding around a photo: the same width on every side or a different width per side, in pixels or as a percent of the image. Choose any colour or keep it transparent, round the corners, or switch on the Polaroid style for a deeper bottom edge. It runs in your browser and saves a PNG. Nothing is uploaded.

How to use it

  1. Choose an image, drop it here, or paste it (Ctrl+V).
  2. Set the border width, on all sides or each side.
  3. Pick a colour, or tick Transparent.
  4. Round the corners or turn on Polaroid if you like.
  5. Download the PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded?

No. The border is drawn on a canvas in your browser. The image never leaves your device.

What is the difference between px and %?

Pixels add an exact width. Percent is a share of the shorter side of the image, so the border looks the same on big and small photos.

Can the border be transparent?

Yes. Tick Transparent and the padding is see-through in the PNG. That is handy for adding space around a logo or a cut-out.

What does the Polaroid option do?

It makes the bottom edge four times deeper than the other sides, like an instant photo. Leave the colour white for the classic look.

Will it lower the quality of my photo?

No. The photo is drawn at its full size and saved as a PNG, which is lossless. Very large images are scaled down to stay within what phone browsers can handle.
