When to use this tool

Choose the border width and colour, then export the image with the added surround.

A practical example

A 10-pixel border on each side of an 800 × 600 image produces an 820 × 620 output.

Check the exported result

Check the final dimensions as well as the border’s appearance.

Common problems and limits

An added border increases the canvas size and can violate a strict upload-dimension rule.

Choose the next step

Resize Image can set final dimensions when the receiving service has an exact requirement.

Files, privacy and saving

This tool offers browser processing for the supported operation. Check the selected processing mode before continuing; server options require an explicit upload choice. Keep your original, review the downloaded result and choose a clear filename before sharing it. The privacy policy explains the processing approach.
