Can I make a transparent border?

Yes — choose a transparent background and export as PNG to keep it see-through.

Do the border settings scale with the image?

Yes. Padding and corner radius are percentages of the short edge, so proportions stay consistent at any size.

Can I round the corners of the photo itself?

Yes, the corner-radius setting rounds the image corners as well as the frame.

Add a border or frame to an image

Give a photo breathing room: padding in any colour (or transparent), rounded corners, and a live preview that matches the export pixel for pixel.

Sizes are set as percentages, so the same look scales cleanly from a thumbnail to a print-size image.

Why a border helps

A margin gives an image room to breathe against a busy feed, makes a set of photos look consistent, and can quietly brand a screenshot. Rounded corners soften a hard rectangle for a friendlier, more modern feel — the same detail phone screenshots and app cards use.
