About the Add Border to Image
The ByteTools Add Border tool wraps any image in a clean, solid frame. Choose the border thickness in pixels and pick any color, and the tool draws an even border around all four sides while keeping your original picture untouched in the center.
A simple border is a quick way to separate a photo from a white page, add breathing room around a product shot, create polaroid-style frames, or make screenshots stand out in documents and slides.
All framing happens 100% locally in your browser on an HTML canvas. Nothing is uploaded to any server, so your images stay private on your device the entire time.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add a border around an image?
Upload the image, choose a border width and color, and the tool draws an even frame around all four edges. Preview it live and download the result as a PNG — no design software needed.
Does adding a border change the image dimensions?
Yes. The border adds its width to every side, so a 20px border makes the image 40px wider and 40px taller overall. The original picture stays the same size in the middle of the frame.
Can I make a white border for a photo?
Absolutely. Set the color picker to white and choose your thickness to create a classic white matte around the photo, similar to a print border or polaroid look.
Is my image uploaded to add a border?
No. The border is drawn in your browser using the canvas API and nothing is sent anywhere. Your photos remain completely private on your own computer or phone.
