Add White Border to Photo

White borders give photos a clean, printed-photograph look — like a photo with white margins laid on a table. On Instagram, adding a white border around your image lets you post landscape or portrait photos in a square format without cropping: the border fills the remaining space, preserving your original composition.

This approach is popular with photographers who don't want to crop their wide landscape shots to Instagram's square or 4:5 format. The white border letterbox creates a consistent, gallery-like aesthetic that stands out in the feed.

Choose the border width in pixels. The tool adds equal margins on all four sides. The output image is larger than the input — the border adds to the total dimensions. Download as JPEG for photos or PNG to preserve any transparency in the source image.
