About This Tool

Adding a border to an image is a simple but powerful visual technique — it frames the subject, creates separation between the image and the background, and adds a polished, finished look to photos shared on social media or embedded in documents. White borders give photos a clean, printed-photograph aesthetic popular on Instagram. Black borders create a dramatic, cinematic effect. Coloured borders can reinforce brand identity when sharing product or portfolio images. PixlTools' border tool lets you specify the exact border width in pixels and choose any RGB color via a full color picker. The border is added as an extension of the canvas — your original image content is never cropped or altered. The output dimensions increase by twice the border width on each side, and the result is available as JPG or PNG.
