About this tool

The tool adds the border width on all four sides, so the outer size and the area taken up by the frame are exact rather than guessed. Solid, double and dashed styles are offered in the browser preview, which uses a plain gradient for the inner picture. Your own photo is not uploaded here, so use the outer size to prepare the final framed version.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the outer size grow by twice the border?

Because the border sits on both sides of each dimension, left and right for width, top and bottom for height.

Does a border change the picture itself?

No. The picture keeps its size, and the border is added around it.
