What is an Add Border tool?
An Add Border tool expands or frames a picture with a solid colored edge. The border can separate the image from a page background and give it a more intentional presentation.

Add Border
Add Border creates a clean frame around an image so it stands out in posts, documents, thumbnails, and presentations. It is useful when a picture blends into the background or needs a finished edge before sharing.

How image borders are added
The browser creates a new canvas larger than the original, fills the outer area with your selected border color, and draws the image inside it. The framed version is saved as a new file.
Add Border features for framed images
• Choose border thickness and border color.
• Frame screenshots, photos, graphics, and thumbnails.
• Export a separate bordered image while keeping the source clean.
Benefits of adding an image border
