About Add Border to Image Online

Adding a border or frame around an image is a simple way to make it stand out, separate it visually from surrounding content, or give it a more finished, deliberate look rather than a bare edge-to-edge photo.

This tool adds a customizable border — choose the color, thickness, and style — directly around your image, producing a new version with the frame baked into the file rather than relying on CSS or a container element elsewhere.

Useful specifically when an image needs to look framed wherever it’s used or shared, rather than only when displayed in a specific context (like a webpage) that could otherwise add a border via its own styling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to add a border to an image?

Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP, set the border width in pixels, pick a colour, and click Download Bordered Image. The preview updates live as you change the values. The border is added around the picture rather than over it, so none of your photo is covered.

Can I add a white border to a photo?

Yes, white is the default colour, with a default width of 20 pixels. Change the width from 1 to 200 pixels to get a thin outline or a thick frame, which suits Instagram posts and print-style photos. Any other colour works through the colour picker.

Does adding a border change the image size?

Yes. The border is drawn outside the original picture, so the image grows by twice the border width in both dimensions. A 20 px border adds 40 px to the width and to the height. The original photo is kept at full resolution.

What format does the bordered image download in?

The bordered image downloads as a PNG named bordered-image.png, even if you started with a JPG or WebP. Only a solid colour and width are available; there are no patterns or rounded frames. Your files are processed in your browser and are never uploaded.
