How to use the Add Border to Image
- Choose an image.
- Set the border width and color, and round the corners if you like.
- Pick a canvas shape to pad the image to a square or 4:5 without cropping.
- Download as PNG (keeps transparent corners) or JPG.
Borders that fit every platform
Instagram crops photos that are wider than 1.91:1 or taller than 4:5. Padding the image to a square or 4:5 canvas with a white or colored border lets you post the whole photo. Rounded corners and a shadow give screenshots and product shots a polished, app-store look.
Save as PNG to keep transparent rounded corners and shadows; JPG fills them with the border color.
Images are edited with your browser’s canvas, so photos never leave your device — no upload, no watermark, no sign-up.
Need a specific pixel size? Use the Image Resizer. To crop instead, use the Image Cropper.

Can I install Add Border to Image as a web app and use it offline?
Yes. Add Border to Image is an installable web app (PWA) — installed from your browser, not downloaded from an app store. Click Install app at the top of this page in Chrome or Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS) or on Android, use Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone and iPad, or File → Add to Dock in Safari 17+ on a Mac. It then opens in its own window with its own icon, and because it runs entirely in your browser it keeps working offline. Firefox on desktop can’t install web apps. How installing works.
