Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum size can I make the border?

The slider gives you full flexibility over the size. You can make the border a very tiny, subtle line for a clean, sharp edge, or increase it significantly to create a massive, thick frame for a gallery look. The live preview updates instantly to show how the size changes the layout. This helps you get the exact right look for whatever style you are aiming for or just a simple protective edge.

Can I use this for making passport photos?

Yes, many people use it for official photos. When preparing a passport or ID photo, rules usually require a clean white margin around the face or body. By using your base photo, you can use our tool to add a clean, even white padding around the image. This helps guarantee that when the photo is printed, the edges meet the strict requirements by the official guidelines.

Why might my image appear blurry when I use the tool?

We never lower your image quality. If your final result looks blurry, it means the original file you uploaded was a low-quality file or a tiny screenshot. When you add a thick border to a tiny image can make the blurriness stand out. To get the best, crispest results, we recommend using the original high-res camera file straight from your phone or camera.

Is it possible to type words onto the border here?

Right now, this app is designed specifically for adding the perfect border without any complicated features. It does not have a built-in text editor. But, after you create a wide white or colored frame and download the image, it is very easy to load it in your phone's default photo gallery app to add text, emojis, or notes right on the new border we helped you make.

Which file types are supported?

We accept all the most popular standard image formats. Feel free to use JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP files. For Apple users, standard camera photos work great. Because the tool runs directly in your browser, it handles whatever your device can naturally open. After framing, it exports as a crisp file to keep the colors and lines perfect.

How do I take off a frame if my photo already has one?

Our editor is built to add new margins, not to remove or crop them out. If your picture already has a frame you do not want, you will first need to use a cropping tool to trim the original margin. Once you have a clean, cropped photo, bring it to our site to add a fresh, new, perfectly symmetrical border exactly how you want it.
