FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about adding borders to images online.
What image formats are supported?
The tool works with all common image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. The output is always saved as a PNG file to preserve quality and support transparency.
What is the difference between outside and inside border?
Outside adds the border around the image, making the total canvas larger than the original. Inside overlays the border on top of the image edges, keeping the total dimensions the same.
Is there a maximum image size?
There is no file size limit enforced by this tool since all processing runs in your browser. Very large images may take a moment to load depending on your device performance.
Will my image be uploaded to your server?
No. The Add Image Border tool is entirely client-side and uses the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device and is not stored anywhere.
Can I use this tool for social media images?
Yes. Adding a border is a great way to make your social media posts stand out. For Instagram, a clean white border gives photos a framed look. For LinkedIn or Twitter, a colored border can match your brand identity.
