Image Border Maker

1. Open one or more photos.
2. Pick a style to start from, such as Even, Wide or Instant photo, or set the width yourself.
3. Choose a colour, or Blurred photo for a frame made from the photo itself.
4. Optionally choose a shape such as 1:1, round the corners, add a thin line or a shadow.
5. Download the photo, or all photos together as a ZIP. The same settings are used for every photo.

The preview is drawn by the same code as the download, so the file looks exactly like the preview.

Widths are a percentage of the photo's shorter side, not a number of pixels. A 5% border on a 4000 x 3000 photo is 150 pixels wide; on a 1000 x 750 photo it is 37.5 pixels. That way the border looks the same on a small and a large photo, and a batch of mixed sizes comes out consistent.

Untick "Same on all sides" to set the top, right, bottom and left separately. The Instant photo style uses this to make the bottom much deeper than the other sides, like a classic instant print.

The border is added around the photo, so the finished image is larger than the original. The finished size in pixels is shown above the download button.

Choose a shape such as 1:1, 4:5 or 9:16 and the tool adds extra border on the short sides until the finished image has that shape. Nothing is cut off the photo, which is centred in the frame. This is the usual way to post a landscape or portrait photo whole on a feed that prefers square or 4:5 images. The Square, no crop style does this in one click.

• Colour: pick white, black, cream, grey or any colour, or type a hex code such as #1879cd.
• Blurred photo: the border is filled with a heavily blurred, enlarged copy of the photo, so the frame picks up the photo's own colours. It works especially well with the square shape.

• Round photo corners rounds the corners of the photo inside the border.
• Round outer corners rounds the corners of the whole image. The area outside the rounded corners is transparent, so the result is saved as PNG or WebP; JPG cannot store transparency.
• Line around photo draws a thin line of any colour along the edge of the photo, like the inner edge of a picture mount.
• Soft shadow makes the photo look as if it lies slightly above the border.

• JPG (default) gives small files for photos. Quality can be set from 50 to 100.
• PNG is lossless and keeps transparent corners.
• WebP gives small files and keeps transparent corners.

Files are named after the original with -border added. Location and camera data are not included. Very large results are reduced to about 16 megapixels so they stay within browser memory limits; the tool says so when that happens.

The border is drawn in your browser, and the ZIP for several photos is made there too. Your photos are not uploaded.
