About Add Border to Image
Choose a width in pixels and a colour, and an even border is added around all four sides. The picture itself is not scaled, so the result is larger by twice the border width in each direction.
A white border gives photos a printed look and stops them blending into a white page. A border in your brand colour makes thumbnails stand out.
Border width for common sizes
| Image width | Thin | Medium | Wide |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080 px (Instagram) | 10 px | 30 px | 60 px |
| 1920 px (Full HD) | 20 px | 50 px | 100 px |
| 4000 px (camera photo) | 40 px | 100 px | 200 px |
Choosing a colour
White gives a printed-photo look. Black makes colours look stronger. A colour picked from the photo itself ties the border to the picture.

Questions
Does it cover part of my image?
No. The border is added outside the picture, which gets larger.
How wide should it be?
About 2–5% of the image width looks balanced. For a 1080 px image, 20–50 px.
Can I make the border transparent?
Not at the moment. Borders are a solid colour.
