Add a White Border to an Image

White borders are popular for social media, product photography, portfolios, and minimalist image layouts.

Choose the White preset to instantly create a clean white frame around your image.

A white image border can be useful for:

• Instagram photos
• Ecommerce product images
• Portfolio photography
• Blog graphics
• Marketplace listings
• Profile images
• Artwork
• Social media posts

You can make the white border thin and subtle or increase the thickness for more spacing around your photo.

Add a Black Border to a Photo

A black border can give photographs, artwork, posters, and digital graphics a stronger framed appearance.

Select the Black preset and adjust the thickness until the border looks right for your image.

Black borders work particularly well with:

• Photography
• Artwork
• Posters
• Dark-themed designs
• Portfolio images
• Social graphics
• Product photography

Add a Custom Color Border

Need a border that matches your brand or design?

Use the built-in color picker to choose virtually any border color.

Custom colors are useful for:

• Brand graphics
• Marketing images
• Social media themes
• Product listings
• Promotional graphics
• Blog images
• Presentation visuals

The selected color is applied evenly around all four sides of the image.

Choose Exact Border Thickness

Different images need different amounts of spacing.

Use the border thickness slider or enter a precise pixel value to control the size of the frame.

You can create:

• Thin borders for a subtle outline
• Medium borders for balanced spacing
• Thick borders for a framed appearance
• Large borders for social-media layouts

The tool applies the same thickness to the top, bottom, left, and right sides.

Add a Border Without Cropping Your Image

This tool does not crop or stretch your original image.

Instead, the border is added outside the existing image.

For example, if your original image is:

1000 × 800 px

and you add a:

20 px border

the finished image becomes:

1040 × 840 px

This keeps all of the original image content visible while creating equal spacing around it.

Instant Image Border Preview

You do not need to repeatedly download files just to see how a border looks.

As you adjust the thickness or choose a different color, the preview updates so you can see the result before downloading.

This makes it easier to experiment with different border styles and choose the one that fits your image.

Add a Border to JPG Images

Upload a JPG or JPEG photo and quickly add a colored frame around it.

This can be useful for:

• Website photos
• Product images
• Social media posts
• Portraits
• Portfolio photos
• Email graphics
• Marketing assets

The edited image can be downloaded as a JPG file.

Add a Border to PNG Images

PNG files are supported as well.

This is especially useful for:

• Logos
• Graphics
• Illustrations
• Product cutouts
• Design elements
• Transparent PNG graphics

If your PNG contains transparent areas within the original image, those areas can remain transparent in PNG output while the selected solid-color border is added around the outside.

Add a Border to WebP Images

You can also upload WebP images and add a border without first converting them to another format.

This makes the tool useful for website owners and developers working with modern web image formats.

Add a Border to Instagram Photos

White borders and extra spacing are commonly used to create cleaner social-media layouts.

With this tool, you can add an even border around an Instagram image while keeping the complete original photo visible.

It is useful when you want:

• More breathing room around a photo
• A consistent visual feed
• A minimalist white frame
• A branded colored border
• A black artistic frame

For changing the entire canvas to a square 1:1 format, use a dedicated square-image tool instead.

Add Borders to Product Images

Ecommerce sellers can use borders to create more consistent-looking product photos.

A simple white or branded border can help prepare images for:

• Online stores
• Product catalogs
• Marketplace listings
• Promotional graphics
• Product pages
• Social advertisements

Because the image itself is not cropped, important product details remain visible.

Add a Frame Around Blog Images

Bloggers and website owners may want a thin border to visually separate an image from the surrounding page.

A subtle border can be useful around:

• Screenshots
• Tutorials
• Featured graphics
• Product comparisons
• Photography
• Infographics
• Examples and demonstrations

Choose a color that works with your website's design and adjust the thickness until the result feels balanced.

Supported Image Formats

The tool supports common web image formats:

The downloaded image uses the same general format as the uploaded file.

Browser-Based Image Editing

Your image is processed through your browser, so you do not need to install desktop editing software.

This makes the tool convenient on:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux
• Android
• iPhone and iPad
• Tablets
• Chromebooks

Very large images may take longer to process depending on your device and available memory.
