What frame styles are available?

Polaroid (6 colors: Classic, Cream, Dark, Blush, Sky, Sage), Film Strip (Classic, Deep, Sepia), Neon (5 glows: Cyan, Hot Pink, Purple, Lime, Amber), Gradient (Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Cosmic, Gold, Rainbow), Minimal (White, Black, Gold, Rose, plus bold variants).

Can I customize the frame color?

Most presets have built-in color variants. For full color control, open the result in our editor where you can fine-tune frame thickness and color manually.

Does the frame change the image dimensions?

Yes - the frame adds to the canvas size around the photo. The output is the photo plus the frame, so dimensions grow by the frame's thickness.

Will the frame be sharp at large sizes?

Yes - frames are vector-rendered onto the canvas at the image's native resolution. Crisp at any output size.

Can I add multiple frames?

One frame at a time in this widget. For layered effects (e.g. a polaroid frame inside a gradient frame), use our full editor where you can stack frame layers.
