Add a Border to a Photo Online

Frame a photo without covering or cropping the source. Pick any border color and adjust its thickness relative to the image.

How to add a border to a photo online?

  1. 1

    Step 1: Upload a photo

    Choose one JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB and 16 megapixels.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Choose the border

    Pick a color and set the border width from one to 15 percent of the shortest image edge.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Check the new dimensions

    The border is added outside the source, so it increases the overall canvas instead of covering the photo.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Download the PNG

    Save the bordered image from the browser.

Fast and Straightforward

Resizing photos for social media should be a cinch, but most editing programs are a pain to use. Of the dozen I’ve used, Instasize is the fastest, easiest and most consistent...
