GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

Does the border cover part of my photo?

No. The canvas expands around the image, leaving its original pixels inside the new border.

Can I choose the border color?

Yes. Use the color control before running the tool.

How is the final size calculated?

Twice the border width is added to both the original width and original height.

Can the border make a large file fail?

Yes. The expanded image must still fit within the 45-million-pixel canvas safety limit.
