How do I add a white border to an image or add frame to photo online free using this tool?

To add a white border, select the 'Solid' border style, choose white from the 'Border Color' picker, and adjust the 'Border Thickness' slider to your desired width. This is a simple way to add a frame to your photo online for free.

Can I create an image with rounded corners and a border?

Yes. If you select the 'Rounded' border style, the border itself will follow the rounded corners of the image. You can then adjust the border color and thickness as usual. For a border *around* an already rounded-corner image (where corners are transparent), you'd first make the image have rounded corners with a transparent background using our 'Rounded Corner Generator', then upload that result here to add a border.

What is a 'Dash Pattern' and how do I use it for dashed borders?

A dash pattern is a comma-separated list of numbers representing the length of dashes and the gaps between them. For example, '10,5' creates a 10-pixel dash followed by a 5-pixel gap, repeating. '15,5,5,5' would create a 15px dash, 5px gap, 5px dash, 5px gap.

Is this an alternative to a CSS border generator for static images?

Yes. While a CSS border generator creates code for web developers to apply borders dynamically in a browser, this tool applies the border directly to the image pixels, creating a new image file with the border embedded. This is useful when you need the image itself to have the border for use in various contexts, not just on a webpage controlled by CSS.

Can I add a border to a PNG image with a transparent background?

Yes. If your input PNG has transparency, and you choose 'PNG' as the output format with 'Transparent Background' for the canvas checked, the border will be applied around the opaque parts of your image, and the surrounding areas (including the image's original transparency and any canvas padding) will remain transparent. This is great for creating borders for transparent images.

Does this tool support adding shadows or complex border patterns like floral patterns?

Currently, this tool offers solid, dashed, rounded, and neon glow border styles. It does not support applying drop shadows or intricate image-based pattern borders (like floral patterns). The 'dashed' style provides a form of pattern. For shadows, you might need a more advanced photo editor.
