Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. The border is drawn in your browser, and your images never leave your device.
What is the difference between Outside and Inside?
Outside adds the border around the image, so the result is larger. Inside paints it over the image's edges and keeps the original size, covering a strip of the picture.
How do I get matching borders on photos of different sizes?
Use % of short side: the width is a percentage of each image's shorter side, so frames look proportional. px gives every image the same width in pixels.
Why are my rounded corners or shadow white?
JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white, and a warning appears. Set Format to PNG or WebP to keep them transparent.
How do I make a Polaroid-style frame?
Click Polaroid: a white border of 5% of the short side, with a bottom edge four times as thick. Fine-tune it with Width and Bottom thickness.
Can I add a border to just one side, or turn an image into a square?
One side, yes: switch off the others under Sides. To pad an image onto a square canvas, use Square Image.
