Add a border to a photo

A simple frame around your photo

A border can turn a plain photo into something that looks intentionally presented: a clean white edge for a minimal look, a colored frame to match a theme, or the classic instant-photo style with extra space left at the bottom for a caption. This tool adds that border by placing your photo onto a slightly larger canvas filled with the color you choose.

Two styles

An even border adds the same width of color on all four sides. The photo-frame style keeps the same width on the top and sides but makes the bottom edge noticeably wider, the familiar look of an instant camera print or a framed photo with room for a name or date underneath.

Width and color

The border width is set as a percentage of the photo's own size, so it scales sensibly whether your photo is small or large, and any color is available through the color picker — white and black are the classic choices, but any color works, from a soft pastel to match a theme to a bold color that makes the photo itself stand out more.

Batch friendly

Drop a whole folder of photos at once and every one gets the exact same treatment, which keeps a set of images looking consistent — handy for a gallery, a social media grid, or a set of prints that should all share the same framed look without adjusting each one by hand.

Privacy

Every photo gets its border added locally, on your own device, in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the two styles?
The even style adds the same border width on all four sides. The photo-frame style keeps the top and sides the same but makes the bottom noticeably wider, like a classic instant photo.
Can I choose any border color?
Yes, use the color picker to choose any color; white and black are the most common choices.
Does the border size adjust to my photo's size?
Yes, the width is a percentage of the photo's own dimensions, so it looks proportional whether your photo is small or large.
Can I add a border to many photos at once?
Yes, drop as many as you like; they all get the same style, color and width, with individual downloads or one ZIP for the batch.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens entirely in your browser.
Does adding a border change the photo's format?
The result is saved as JPG, or PNG if your original was a PNG, to keep transparency where it applies.
