Add a border
Open Add Border to Image, choose the photo, set the border size and colour, add rounded corners if you like, and download a PNG.
Post uncropped on Instagram
Choose 'Make it square' with a white or black border – the whole photo fits inside a square frame, so nothing is cut off in the feed.
Style tips
White borders look clean and gallery-like, black suits moody photos, and a brand colour works for business posts. Keep border thickness consistent across a series.
For print
A small white border also protects edges from being trimmed by print shops.
Frequently asked questions
