How do I add a border to a photo online?

Drop your photo into the Add Border tool, set the width, pick a color, then download. You can also round the corners or add a drop shadow.

Can I make the border transparent?

Yes. Click the Transparent button and the border area becomes fully transparent, exported as a PNG.

What is the difference between px and percent width?

Pixel width is fixed, while percent width scales relative to the shortest side of your photo, so the frame stays proportional on any image size.

Why did my image download as PNG instead of JPG?

Rounded corners, transparent borders and drop shadows need transparency, which JPG cannot store, so the tool switches to PNG automatically.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

Never. All processing happens in your browser on your own device.

Is adding a border free?

Yes, free users get a generous number of uses per tool. Pro members get unlimited use.
