Framing an image with a border
A colored border does three things: it separates the image from whatever sits behind it, it signals the image’s edge (helpful when the background color is similar), and it adds a little formal weight. Drop an image, pick a thickness, and the canvas re-renders in real time.
Tips
- Use percent instead of pixels if you want the same proportional frame across images of different sizes — 3% of the short side is a classic thin gallery frame.
- Uneven edges are perfect for instant-style Polaroid looks: equal top/left/right, larger bottom.
- Inner corner radius gives a rounded photo-in-frame effect. Pair it with a PNG output so the outer corners stay square with your chosen border color.
- For transparent-corner output, use PNG and set the border color to anything — the border itself stays opaque, and no rounded-corner transparency is inserted outside the frame.

Add Border in 5 steps
Upload your image
Drag and drop an image onto the page or click to browse. The tool header shows whether processing is local or server-backed.
Set border thickness
Pick a uniform thickness or expand the per-edge controls to set different widths for top, right, bottom, and left.
Choose unit and color
Thickness is in pixels or a percent of the short side (great for scaling across different image sizes). Pick a color or use a preset.
Add rounded corners (optional)
The inner radius slider rounds the photo corners inside the frame for a Polaroid-style look.
Render and download
The output image grows to fit the added border. Pick PNG, JPG, or WebP for the export.
Frequently asked
Will adding a border upscale the photo?
No — the original pixels are preserved. The canvas is enlarged and the extra space is filled with the border color.
Can I make a photo frame with a thick white border like Polaroid?
Yes. Set top/left/right to equal thickness and bottom to about 3x thicker for the classic Polaroid proportions.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
Client-side tools process in your browser. Server-backed tools send the image to the MakeMyImgs API temporarily, process the requested job, and return the result.
