A digital border changes the image dimensions and aspect ratio. A print lab may still crop or add margins according to its own settings.

## How to use add image border

1. Choose your photo.
2. Select a border width in pixels and a border color.
3. Review the expanded dimensions and download the bordered PNG.

## A practical example

Adding a 40-pixel border to a 1200 × 800 image produces 1280 × 880 pixels: 40 pixels on each of the four sides.

## Frequently asked questions

Does the border cover any of my photo?

No. The canvas expands by twice the border width in each dimension, with the original photo placed inside it.

Can I add a white border?

Yes. The default color is white. Use the color control to choose black or another color.
