What Is Image Border Frame?

An image border and frame tool adds decorative borders around your images with full customization. Choose from three border styles: solid, double (elegant double-line frame), and shadow (soft drop shadow effect). Adjust the border width and pick any color. Borders are added around the image, expanding canvas dimensions — your original image content is fully preserved.

Technical Guide

Border addition expands the canvas dimensions by twice the border width. The solid style fills the expanded canvas with the border color, then draws the image centered. The double style creates two concentric borders with a white gap. The shadow style fills with white, applies canvas shadow properties, draws a rectangle to create the shadow, then draws the image on top.
