Why Use Add Border to Image?
Instagram White Border Aesthetic
The clean white border look dominates curated Instagram feeds. Set white from presets and dial 25-50px to frame every post identically, turning your feed into a cohesive visual gallery that keeps followers scrolling.
Print-Ready Margins for Framing
Physical photo frames need breathing room. Add uniform margins so mat boards and frames don't clip your subject. A 50-100px border at 300 DPI gives the exact margin print shops recommend for standard frame sizes.
5 Corner Styles from Square to Pill
Square for classic framing, Soft for subtle warmth, Rounded for modern app-style cards, More for bold statement shapes, and Pill for fully capsule-shaped images. Each style sets proportional inner and outer radii automatically.
Independent Inner & Outer Radius
Go beyond presets with Fine-Tune mode. Control the outer edge rounding separately from the inner photo rounding. Create effects like a sharp outer frame with softly curved photo inset, or vice versa - combinations that design tools charge monthly for.
Transparent PNG Export for Rounded Corners
When you round corners, the clipped regions export as transparent pixels rather than a solid fill. Drop your bordered image onto any background - a website, a slide, a dark-mode app - and the corners blend seamlessly.
Instant Live Preview as You Adjust
Every slider drag, every color tap, every corner change renders immediately on your canvas. No 'Apply' button, no loading spinner. You see the final output in real time, exactly as it will download.
Who Uses This
Instagram Feed Curation
Content creators and brand managers use uniform white borders at 25-40px to build that gallery-wall feed aesthetic. Every post gets the same frame, creating visual rhythm as followers scroll. Works especially well for photography portfolios, flat-lay product shots, and travel accounts where the border separates one vivid image from the next.
Print Preparation for Photo Framing
Photographers and print shops add 50-100px margins before sending images to print. The border prevents mat boards from overlapping the composition and provides safe space for cutting tolerance. A white border at 75px gives roughly 6mm margin per side at 300 DPI, matching standard framing requirements for 5x7 and 8x10 prints.
E-Commerce Product Imagery
Online sellers on Amazon, Etsy, and Shopify use consistent white borders on every product photo. A 20-40px white border ensures the product never touches the image edge, meets marketplace image guidelines, and creates a uniform catalog appearance. Applied across hundreds of SKUs, this simple border lifts the entire store's perceived quality.
Presentations and Document Design
Bordered images in slide decks and reports create clear visual separation from surrounding text and backgrounds. A thin 10-15px border in your brand color frames screenshots, diagrams, and photos so they read as intentional design elements rather than pasted-in afterthoughts. Rounded corners at the Soft setting add a modern, approachable feel to corporate presentations.
How It Works
Upload Your Image
Drag a photo onto the upload area or tap to browse files. Supports PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and every format your browser can read. There is no file size cap since processing stays on your device.
Set Border Color, Width, and Corners
Pick from 12 color presets (white, black, brand colors) or open the custom picker for any shade. Choose a width with the slider or tap 10px, 25px, 50px, or 100px presets. Select a corner style, or open Fine-Tune for independent inner and outer radius control.
Download Your Bordered Image
Tap Download to save as a high-quality PNG. Rounded corners preserve transparency automatically. On mobile, the download button floats at the bottom of your screen so you never have to scroll back up.
Pro Tips for Better Borders
The Instagram 30px Rule
For 1080x1080 feed posts, a white border at exactly 30px gives the cleanest gallery grid look. Thinner borders vanish in the grid view, thicker ones start shrinking the photo noticeably. For carousel posts, use the same 30px so all slides frame identically.
Match Borders to Your Website Background
If images will appear on a specific webpage, use the custom color picker to sample your site's exact background hex code. The border becomes invisible on the page and your photo appears to float with clean margins - much more polished than CSS-only spacing.
Use Fine-Tune for Card-Style Effects
Set outer radius to 16-20px and inner radius to 0 for a material-design card look. Or flip it: outer 0, inner 20 for a sharp frame with softened photo edges. These combinations give you design-tool-level control without opening Figma.
Speed Workflow with Width Presets
Tap the 25 or 50 preset button to jump close to your target width, then nudge the slider for precision. This two-step approach is significantly faster than dragging from zero, especially on mobile where sliders can be tricky to control precisely.
