    About the Add Border to Image tool

    The border is added around the outside, so none of your photo is covered. Combine it with rounded corners or a circle crop for a polished look.

    Borders are measured in pixels; for very large photos, use a wider border so it stays visible when the photo is shown smaller.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does the border cover part of my photo?

    No. The border is added around the photo, which makes the image slightly larger.

    Can I add a white border for Instagram?

    Yes. Pick white and a width such as 40–80 px. For a square post, use the Photo Collage Maker with one photo, or crop to 1:1 first.

    Can I frame many photos at once?

    Yes, up to 50 at a time, with a ZIP download.

    Are my photos uploaded?

    No. Everything runs on your device.
