How to add a frame to an image?

Select your file, pick a frame color with the color picker, set the frame size, and export.

How is Add Frame different from Vignette?

Add Frame places a solid-color rectangular border at a fixed size; Vignette fades the edges of the image with a soft gradient.

Can I choose the frame color?

Yes, the color picker lets you set any color for the frame before exporting.

What file formats can I export?

You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.

Vignette

The Vignette tool subtly draws focus to the subject by darkening or lightening the edges of an image. Adjust the Radius to control how far the vignette extends toward the center, Softness to define how gradually it blends into the image, and Strength to set the intensity of the effect. These controls allow precise, non-destructive shaping of visual emphasis and mood.
