How to add a border to an image
- Upload an image.
- Pick the border color.
- Set the thickness: a few pixels to define an edge, more for a framed look.
- Raise the radius to round the corners.
- Download as PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG.
Tips
- A 1 to 3 pixel light gray border keeps a screenshot from blending into a white page.
- Rounded corners leave transparent notches. Download PNG or WebP to keep them transparent.
FAQ
Does the border go around the image or over it?
Around it. The canvas grows by the border thickness, so nothing is covered.
Can I make rounded corners without a visible border?
Yes. Set the radius, set the thickness to 0, and download PNG or WebP.
What border color looks right?
White for a print look, light gray to define a screenshot's edge, or a strong color picked from the photo.
Which download format should I use for rounded corners?
PNG or WebP. JPG fills the corners with white.
