Why use this tool?
imgic’s border tool lets you surround any image with a solid color frame of your choosing. Set the border thickness in pixels and select any color using the built-in color picker or by entering a hex value. The output dimensions grow by twice the border width on each axis, so your original content is never cropped or scaled. This is ideal for adding matting to photos, creating consistent padding for product listings, or matching a brand’s color scheme around marketing assets. Your files never leave your device since every pixel is rendered locally by the browser.

Frequently asked questions
How does the border affect the output image size?
The border is added around the outside of your original image, so the output dimensions increase. If you add a 20-pixel border to a 1000×800 image, the result will be 1040×840. Your original content remains at full resolution inside the frame.
Is my file private and secure?
Completely. Your file is processed 100% inside your browser using the Web APIs built into your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server — imgic never sees, stores, or transmits your images. You can even use these tools offline once the page has loaded.
Can I choose any color for the border?
Yes. Use the color picker to select from the full spectrum, or type a specific hex code for an exact match. White, black, and transparent borders are all supported, letting you achieve the precise look you need.
Will adding a border reduce my image quality?
Not at all. The original pixels are preserved exactly as they are. The tool simply extends the canvas by the border thickness you specify and fills the new area with your chosen color. No compression or re-encoding of the original content takes place during the process.
What file formats can I use with this tool?
The border tool accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, and any other format your browser supports natively. The output retains the same format unless you opt to change it, so your workflow stays seamless.
