What Does Add Border to Image Do?
The Add Border to Image tool creates a clean frame around a photo, screenshot or graphic without covering the original pixels. You can choose the border width and color, preview the result and export the finished image as PNG.
Example
If a 1200 × 800 image receives a 20 px border, the exported canvas becomes 1240 × 840 because 20 pixels are added on every side while the original image remains unchanged.
Factors That Affect the Result
Border width changes the final canvas dimensions, while the selected color affects contrast with both the image and the page where it will be used. Very wide borders can dominate small images, so choose the width in proportion to the source dimensions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the border reduce the image size?
No. The canvas grows outward around the source image.
Can I choose any border color?
Yes. Use the color picker to select the color you want.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
The selected image is processed locally in your browser.

Technical Details and Limitations
Adding an image border increases the visible frame around the picture and may change final pixel dimensions depending on implementation. Border thickness, corner treatment and export format can affect both appearance and file size.
Technical Details and Practical Limits
Adding a border can increase final pixel dimensions when the border is placed outside the original canvas. Border thickness, corner style and export format affect both appearance and file size, so check dimensions when exact output size matters.
