About Add Border to Image

Add a border to an image when a product photo needs white space to sit nicely on a marketplace, a screenshot needs a frame before it goes into slides, or a picture should look like a print with a white mat. Choose the width in pixels and the color, and the frame is added around the outside, so none of the picture is covered.

A 1000 × 800 photo with a 20-pixel border comes back at 1040 × 840. Set a corner radius for a softer, app-style look, and tick Add a soft shadow to lift the picture off the page. With rounded corners or a shadow the result is a PNG, so the area outside stays transparent. Otherwise the original format is kept. If the PNG turns out large, Compress Image can make it smaller.

FAQ

Add Border to Image: questions and answers

Does adding a border to an image cover part of it?
No. The border is added around the outside, so the picture grows by twice the border width in each direction.
How do I add a white border to a photo for Instagram?
Set the Color to white and a width of around 40 to 80 pixels. To make the result square for the feed, run it through Resize Image with the Instagram post size and Fit inside.
