About the Image Border Tool
Add clean borders and padding to any picture without opening an image editor. Upload a photo, set the border width and color, and optionally add inner padding in a second color — the classic photo-frame or polaroid look. The live preview updates instantly as you adjust each value.
Borders are useful far beyond decoration: a thin border makes light images stand out on white websites, a chunky white frame is the signature Instagram print style, and consistent padding makes product photos align neatly in a catalog grid.
The framed image is composed on an HTML canvas at full original resolution and never uploaded anywhere. Download as PNG for lossless quality or JPG for smaller files.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a white border to a photo for Instagram?
Upload the photo, set a border width of roughly 5–8% of the image width (60–80 px on a 1080 px photo) and choose white. Download as JPG and post — the white frame keeps the whole photo visible in the square feed.
Does adding a border change my image resolution?
The original pixels are untouched — the border is added around them, so the output is larger than the input by twice the border and padding width on each axis.
Can I make a double border?
Yes. Use the padding as the inner frame: set the padding to a contrasting color (e.g. white) and the border to another (e.g. black) to get a two-tone frame.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The border is drawn in your browser with the canvas API — the file never leaves your device.
