05The guide
A border gives a picture room to breathe. A thin white frame makes a photo look printed and finished, a black edge gives a gallery feel, and a coloured one ties a set of pictures to your brand. On Instagram, a white border is the classic way to post a tall or wide photo without cutting anything off.
This tool adds the border around the picture, so nothing is cropped. Drop one photo or a whole set, choose the thickness and the colour, and every image updates at once.
The thickness is measured as a share of the photo’s short side, so a 5 % border looks the same on a tall portrait and a wide landscape, and a batch of mixed photos stays consistent. Around 3 % is a fine line, 5 to 8 % a classic white frame, and 12 % or more a wide gallery mat.
Pick white for a clean, bright look, black for drama, cream for a softer print feel, or orange and sky blue for a bolder style. For a square Instagram post, add the border here first, then open the result in CutLift and crop it to 1:1.
Drop up to 100 photos and download them one by one or as a single ZIP. Each file keeps its own format: a JPG stays a JPG and a PNG stays a PNG. Everything happens in your browser on your own device, so your photos are never uploaded. Converting is free with no watermark, and a free CutLift account unlocks the downloads. It works on iPhone, Android and computers with no app to install.
Need the border and something else, such as rounded corners, a watermark or a new background? Click Edit on any result to open it in the CutLift editor. Its Convert panel has the same border with live preview, plus corners, effects and every save format, and the rest of the editor is there for retouching and text.
