About Add Border to Image

A border does more than decorate. It separates an image from the page behind it, which matters when a photo has white or very dark edges and would otherwise dissolve into the background. On a slide, a listing or a social post, that separation is the difference between a picture and a smudge.

Width, colour and corner radius cover almost every use. A white frame gives a print-like mat that suits photography; a colour drawn from your brand ties a set of images together; rounded corners soften a screenshot and match the interfaces most people now expect.

Because the same settings are applied to every image you add, this is a quick way to bring consistency to a batch — product photographs shot on different days, screenshots taken by different people, or a set of headshots that need to look like they belong together.

Frequently asked questions

Does the border crop my image?+

No. The canvas grows by the border width on each side, so the full image is kept and the frame is added around it.

What width should I use?+

Something in proportion to the image. Twenty to forty pixels reads well on a typical photo; a very large image needs more before the frame is even visible.

Why does a rounded border save as PNG?+

Rounded corners need transparency outside the curve. JPEG cannot store it, so rounded output is always PNG.

Can I add a border to several images at once?+

Yes. Every selected image gets the same border, which is exactly what you want for a consistent set of thumbnails or product shots.

Will the image quality drop?+

PNG output is lossless. JPEG output is re-encoded at high quality, so any loss is imperceptible at normal viewing sizes.

Is my image uploaded?+

No. The border is drawn in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
