Choose imageAbout the Add Border
Frame any picture with a clean solid border: drag one slider for thickness up to 200 pixels, another for rounded corners, and pick any colour from the palette or type an exact hex value. The frame sits entirely outside the picture, so no content is covered. The preview updates live as you adjust, so you can nudge the width until the framing looks right, then download the finished PNG at full resolution.
A white border gives photos breathing room on Instagram and in photo books; a black frame makes artwork pop on a portfolio page; a brand-coloured edge unifies product shots in a catalogue. Whatever the style, your image never leaves your computer — the border is drawn onto a canvas locally in your browser, with no upload, no account and no watermark on the result.

Frequently asked questions
Does the border cover part of my photo?
No. The border is added around the outside, so the canvas grows by the border width on every side and every pixel of your original stays visible. A photo of 1000×800 with a 50-pixel border downloads as 1100×900, image content untouched.
Can I make a white border for Instagram?
Yes — that's one of the most popular uses. Set the colour to white and pick a width around 3–5% of the image size for the classic gallery look. Because the output is full resolution, the bordered photo stays crisp when Instagram compresses it on upload.
How do the rounded corners work?
The radius slider curves both the outer edge of the frame and the inner photo area, giving a softened, card-like look. At radius 0 you get sharp square corners; higher values approach a pill shape. Corner areas outside the rounding are saved as transparency in the PNG.
Will adding a border recompress my image?
The result is exported as a lossless PNG, so no compression artifacts are introduced regardless of how many times you adjust the settings. If your source was a JPG, its pixels are carried over exactly as they are — only new border pixels are added.
Is this border tool private and free?
Yes on both counts. The frame is drawn on a canvas element inside your browser, so the photo is never transmitted to a server, and there is no fee, sign-up or usage limit. You can frame as many images as you like, one after another.
