Table of contents
Add a customizable border or padding around an image - a solid color frame, useful for making a photo stand out on social media, giving a product photo consistent framing, or simply adding some breathing room around an image before sharing it.
Most people open this because a photo is too big, in the wrong format, or they do not want to install an editor for a two-minute job.
Image Border Adder is a good fit when standardizing ecommerce product thumbnails.

FAQ
Can I customize the border color and thickness?
Yes - choose the border color and how thick it is around the image.
Does adding a border crop or resize my original image?
No - the border is added around the existing image, so the original photo content stays fully intact; the overall output is just larger to accommodate the border.
Can I add different border widths on each side?
Depending on the settings available, you can often add uniform padding on all sides, which covers most framing needs for social posts and simple presentations.
