Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a border to a photo online?
Open this tool in your browser, drop in your photo, pick a border color and size, then download. The entire process takes seconds and works on any device - no software to install.
How to add a white border to a photo for Instagram?
Choose "White" from the color presets, select 4:5 for feed posts or 9:16 for stories, and optionally resize to 1080px for optimal Instagram quality. Save and post directly.
Can I add a black border to a photo?
Yes. Select the Black preset or enter any hex color code. Black borders work great for creating a cinematic letterbox look or adding contrast to bright images.
What formats does this photo border tool support?
You can upload JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIF, BMP, and TIF files. Bordered images are exported as high-quality JPGs with adjustable compression.
Does this work with iPhone (HEIC) photos?
Yes. We support HEIC and HEIF files directly. They are converted to JPEG in your browser without being uploaded, and your camera settings, date, and location data are preserved in the bordered output.
Is this photo border tool free?
Completely free. No account, no watermarks, no hidden limits. Use it as often as you like with as many photos as you need.
Are my photos safe when I add a border online?
Your images never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser - no files are uploaded to any server, so your photos remain entirely private.
Can I add borders to multiple photos at once?
Yes. Select or drag in multiple files and they all get the same border settings applied. Great for preparing a consistent set of photos for a gallery or social feed.
Does adding a border remove my photo's metadata?
No. We preserve your original EXIF data including camera settings, timestamps, and location. Your bordered photo keeps all the metadata from the original.
