About image borders
A border (or frame) is a solid band of colour added around the edges of an image. A clean white border gives the classic polaroid or gallery look, a black border adds drama, and a coloured border can tie an image to a brand or theme. Borders are also handy for separating an image from a white page background.
This tool adds an even border on all four sides at the thickness and colour you choose, growing the canvas rather than cropping the photo. It all runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add a border to an image?
Upload your image, choose the border thickness and colour, and the framed result previews live. Download when it looks right.
What colours can I use?
Any colour — pick it from the colour swatch. White and black borders are the most common, but you can match a brand or theme colour exactly.
Does the border change the image size?
Yes. The output grows by the border thickness on each side, so a 40px border adds 80px to the width and height. The photo itself is unchanged.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The border is drawn entirely in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.
