Frame Guide

Frame adds a border and optional caption around the full photograph. It works well for a simple presentation image or a collection with consistent margins, without cropping away the original composition.

Make this edit

  1. Open Frame, select a photo, and choose a frame design.
  2. Set the border size and color. Try a color already present in the scene before using a strong contrasting border.
  3. Add an optional caption and adjust its font, color, and alignment. Inspect the full preview before downloading.

Available options, explained

Framing option
Even border keeps equal basic margins. Polaroid makes the bottom border three times deeper; a caption can require more space.
Frame size
0–25% of the photograph’s shorter side. A wider border increases the exported image dimensions.
Frame design and color
Choose Solid, Double line, Gallery mat, or Pinstripe, then pick a frame color that supports the photograph.
Caption
Enable Add text below your photo. Enter up to 120 characters: a short title, place, date, or memory that is true to your photograph.
Caption appearance
Choose Modern, Classic, Editorial, Typewriter, or Handwritten; adjust text size from 1–8% of the shorter image side and choose left, center, or right alignment. The caption color choices are light or dark.

Get a better result

Use consistent frame settings across a series so that changes in border width do not distract from differences between the photographs.

Troubleshooting

Long captions can crowd the border. Shorten the text or reduce its size and check the exported file at its intended viewing size. A frame is part of the downloaded image, not a physical print border.
