Benefits

Private by design

Your image stays on your device while Image Border works. Image Border never sends it to a server, so confidential work stays confidential.

Instant results

There is no upload step, so Image Border starts the moment you add your image.

No signup, no limits

Use Image Border as many times as you want. Image Border asks for no account, adds no watermark and keeps no paid tier gating the output.

Works offline

Once the page has loaded, Image Border keeps working without a connection, which helps on flights and locked-down networks.

Who it is for

For designers

Designers use Image Border to prepare assets for handoff without installing software: add borders with custom width and color on a shared or locked-down machine.

For marketers

Image Border helps marketers publish campaign assets quickly, since your image never leaves the laptop it was created on.

For freelancers

Image Border helps freelancers send client deliverables quickly, since your image never leaves the laptop it was created on.

How it works

Image Border loads your image into memory, applies the change you requested to the underlying data rather than to a screenshot of it, and writes a fresh copy for download. Your original stays untouched on disk, and every step of Image Border happens inside your browser sandbox.

Frequently asked questions

Is Image Border free to use?

Yes. Image Border is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.

Does Image Border upload your image to a server?

No. Image Border processes your image inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.

Is there a file size limit?

The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Image Border.

Do I need to install anything to use Image Border?

No installation is needed. Image Border runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.

Can I use Image Border on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The Image Border interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.

What happens to your image when I close the tab?

It is discarded. Image Border keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
