Frequently Asked Questions

Adding a border places extra colored space around a photo so it feels more framed and can fit a target layout without cropping the image itself. It is commonly used for social posts, prints, storefront images, portfolios, galleries, presentations, and any design that needs a cleaner framed look or a specific aspect ratio.

Yes. Upload multiple images, keep settings lock on to apply one border style across the full batch, and then download one file or the entire set. This is useful when you want a consistent framed look across a group of photos.

Turn off Lock settings, click the image you want to edit in the file list, and then change its border size, output shape, or color without affecting the other files. The rest of the batch keeps its current border settings.

For many Instagram posts, a border around 50 to 100 pixels works well, depending on the image size and how visible you want the frame to be. The Square output shape is especially useful for Instagram because it helps the image fit the grid cleanly while keeping the full photo visible instead of cropping it.

The Original shape option adds a border around the image while keeping the photo's existing aspect ratio. Square adds more padding to the shorter side to create a 1:1 result, while the other shape options add padding in a way that fits the selected target ratio.

Adding a border does not modify your original file, and the tool exports a new bordered copy instead. JPG, PNG, and WEBP files keep their usual output format, while GIF and BMP files are exported as PNG after the border is added.
