Does the border crop my image?

No. The canvas is enlarged and the border drawn in the new area, so the original is fully preserved.

How do I choose a colour?

Use the colour swatch — it opens your system colour picker, and the preview updates as you choose.

How much larger will the image be?

Twice the border width in each dimension. A 20px border adds 40px to the width and 40px to the height.

Which formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, BMP and WebP. JPEG inputs return JPEG; other formats return PNG.

About this tool

Adds a solid frame of a chosen colour and thickness around an image. The border is added outside the original, so nothing is cropped: the canvas grows by the border width on each side.
