Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Image Border Generator, answered below

Why did my border change the final image size?

Borders and padding add pixels around the original image. Reduce border width or padding if you need to keep a strict final dimension.

What border styles are available?

We offer five border styles: Solid (clean, uniform border), Double (two-line border effect), Dashed (dotted/dashed pattern), Inset (gradient bevel effect), and Shadow (drop shadow frame). Each creates a unique visual effect.

Can I use a custom border color?

Yes! Choose from 10 preset colors or use the color picker to select any custom color. The preview updates instantly so you can see exactly how it looks.

What's the difference between border width and padding?

Border width controls the thickness of the colored border. Padding adds empty space between the image and the border, creating a matted frame effect. Both are adjustable independently.

Can I add rounded corners to the border?

Yes! Use the corner radius slider to round the corners of your bordered image. This is great for modern designs and social media content.

What image formats are supported?

The tool supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP input. Output is saved as a high-quality PNG file.

Will this reduce image quality?

No! The border is added around your image at full resolution. The original image pixels are preserved exactly, only the border is added.

Why is transparency lost after adding a border?

Use PNG output when transparency matters. JPEG-style output cannot preserve transparent pixels.

Is my image uploaded when adding a border?

Border generation runs in your browser. The selected image is not uploaded to Rune for this operation.

How do I create a picture frame effect?

Use a white or black solid border with width around 30-50px. Add 10-20px padding for a matted frame look. For extra elegance, use the shadow style or add a slight corner radius.
