Quick Start

  1. Visit the Image Border tool on the HeronTool website.
  2. Click the upload button and select an image (JPG, PNG, etc.).
  3. In the settings panel, choose a border style: solid, gradient, or pattern. Adjust border width (1-100 px) and set color or opacity.
  4. For an outline effect, enable the "Inner Outline" option and set its thickness and color.
  5. Click "Generate" to preview, then download the result.

Advanced Tips

  • Use the Rounded Border feature to create soft, rounded corners—ideal for avatars or cards.
  • Combine with the Shadow option to add a subtle drop shadow outside the border for depth.
  • For batch processing, upload multiple images; the tool applies the same settings to all, saving time.

FAQ

Q: Can I customize the gradient direction?
A: Yes, after selecting "Gradient", you can adjust the gradient angle (0-360 degrees).

Q: Will the output resolution be reduced?
A: No, the tool outputs at the original resolution, expanding the canvas as needed for the border.
