Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats are supported?

Our tool supports all major image formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP. The output is always saved as PNG to maintain quality and support transparency.

Can I adjust the border thickness?

Yes, you can adjust the border width from 1px to 50px using the slider control. This allows you to create subtle borders or bold, prominent frames depending on your needs.

How do I choose the right border color?

Use the color picker to select any color. Consider using colors that complement your image - neutral colors for professional content, or bold colors for artistic effects. You can also match your brand colors for consistent styling.

What's the difference between padding and border width?

Border width controls the thickness of the border line itself, while padding controls the space between the image and the border. Padding creates breathing room and prevents the image from touching the border directly.

Can I add rounded corners to borders?

Yes, you can add rounded corners using the border radius slider. This creates a modern, soft appearance and works well with most border styles. The radius can be adjusted from 0px (square) to 50px (very rounded).

Are there any file size limits?

Yes, we limit uploads to 10MB to ensure optimal performance. This covers most high-resolution images while maintaining fast processing speeds. For very large images, consider resizing them first.
