Add solid colour borders to images online. Set uniform or per-side width (top, right, bottom, left), choose any border colour, apply preset styles (white, black, polaroid, shadow), and batch-process multiple images with ZIP download.
Drag and drop one or more images into the upload zone. Bulk mode applies the same border settings to all uploaded images and packages them into a ZIP for download.
Enter a uniform border width in pixels, or switch to per-side mode to set top, right, bottom, and left independently. Click the colour picker to choose any border colour. Use the quick-style presets for common looks: white border (gallery), black border (print), polaroid (wide bottom), or subtle shadow.
The live canvas preview shows exactly how the border will look on your image, including the updated dimensions. Download as JPG, PNG, or WebP. Bulk mode packages all bordered images into a single ZIP file.
Adding a border increases the total image dimensions. A 50px border on a 1000×800 image produces a 1100×900 image (50px added on each side). The original image content is not cropped or scaled — it is centered with the border colour filling the new area around it. For a polaroid effect, you might add 40px top, 40px sides, and 120px bottom.
Yes — toggle to per-side mode and set top, right, bottom, and left independently. This lets you create polaroid-style frames (wider bottom), letterbox borders (wider top and bottom), or asymmetric artistic frames.
Yes — the border is drawn at the specified colour. If you want a transparent border (padding without colour), choose white or any colour and ensure you download as PNG which supports transparency. For truly transparent borders, the border area will be filled with the selected colour since Canvas cannot add transparent border padding without a workaround.
The polaroid preset adds a uniform white border on the top and sides (typically 40px) with a wider white border on the bottom (typically 100–150px), mimicking the distinctive look of classic Polaroid instant photographs. This is popular for portrait photos, Instagram posts, and digital photo albums.
There is no hard limit — you can add borders up to 1000px wide. However, very large borders relative to the image size may produce unwanted results. As a guideline, a border of 2–5% of the shortest image dimension looks balanced for general use.
Yes — the bulk mode applies identical border settings to all uploaded images. All bordered images are downloaded as a ZIP archive. This is useful for photographers adding consistent white borders to an entire gallery before printing or uploading.
