About This Tool

Add borders and frames to images in your browser: solid color borders, rounded corners with transparency, polaroid-style frames with a caption strip, or double-line elegant borders for print. Useful for product shots that need separation from a white page, screenshots headed for documentation, and prints that shouldn't bleed to the edge. Border width, color and corner radius are set in pixels with live preview; output downloads in the original format.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Drop your image (single or a small batch).
  2. Choose a frame style: simple border, rounded corners, or polaroid.
  3. Set thickness in pixels — 1-2 px for screenshots in docs, 20-40 px for gallery prints.
  4. Pick the border color (white and near-black are the classics) and corner radius if using rounded style.
  5. Preview and download; rounded corners export as PNG to keep the corners transparent.

Advantages & Use Cases

Frame screenshots for a tutorial so they read as figures, add 30 px white borders to photos before printing, give marketplace photos a clean edge that separates them from the platform's background, or round corners of UI mockups for a softer landing-page look.

Supported Formats & Recommendations

  • Rounded corners require PNG (or WebP) for transparent corners; JPG fills corners with the chosen background.
  • Polaroid frames suit photos: white frame, thicker bottom strip, optional caption text.
  • For screenshots in documentation, 1 px #d0d0d0 border + 4 px radius is the standard clean look.

How We Test This Tool

Border tests verify exact pixel thickness on all four sides against a measured reference, corner radius anti-aliasing at 4 and 24 px, polaroid caption strip proportions, and that batch mode applies identical settings to every file with no skipped images.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my rounded corners turn white in JPG?

JPG has no transparency, so corners composite onto a background. Export PNG or WebP to keep them see-through.

What border width looks professional for print photos?

3-5% of the image width in white reads as a classic print frame (about 30-50 px on a 1000 px photo). Thin 1-2 px borders are for digital documents, not prints.

Can I add a caption on the polaroid strip?

Yes — the polaroid style includes an optional text line on the bottom strip, styled like handwritten photo labels.
