A simple website for your work, made entirely on your iPhone. Pick your best photos, add a bio and a contact button, and publish to your own address at yourname.bordr.art. No templates to wrestle, no laptop, no code. For photographers, artists and small creative businesses: tattoo artists, florists, makeup and nail artists, ceramicists, illustrators. And because presentation matters, Bordr also gives every photo clean borders, layouts and grids before it goes anywhere. YOUR WEBSITE - Your Own Address Your site lives at yourname.bordr.art, ready to put in your Instagram bio, on a business card, or in a message to a client. - Work and About Pages Show your work in folders, and add an About page with a photo and a few paragraphs about you. - A Contact Button Let people reach you in one tap. Every photo also gets its own link that previews properly when you share it. - Layouts, Themes and Typefaces Preview your site live in the app before anyone else sees it, and with Bordr Pro choose its layout, theme and typeface. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. YOUR PHOTOS - Clean Photo Borders Adjustable thickness and a considered set of colours. The border is the whole point, so there is nothing else in the way. - Fit Any Ratio Without Cropping Put a tall photo in a square frame and let the border do the fitting. Choose the ratio you need for Instagram, a portfolio, or a presentation. - Multiple Layouts Single photos, side-by-side pairs, stacked compositions and four-up grids, in a few taps. - Saved Styles Save a border you like, then apply it to one photo or a whole selection, so a set actually looks like a set. - Private by Default The framing tools work offline, with no account and no tracking. Publishing is opt-in: it takes a Sign in with Apple, and only the photos you choose to publish ever leave your device. PERFECT FOR - Photography portfolios - Tattoo, nail and makeup artists - Florists, ceramicists and makers - Illustrators and designers - Architecture and interior projects - A link in your Instagram bio WHY BORDR? Most website builders are made for a desktop. Most photo apps focus on editing. Bordr does neither. It helps you present work you have already made, and put it online in minutes, from the phone you made it on.

Border Pro is the photographer’s tool for adding beautiful, precise borders to your photos — whether you shoot on iPhone, mirrorless, or film. Built for people who care about their images, Border Pro preserves your EXIF data on every save. Your camera model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed and date all stay intact. BORDERS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Borders are calculated as a percentage of your image, so they stay perfectly consistent across every aspect ratio and resolution — from a phone snap to a 102MP medium format file. PRINT YOUR SHOOTING DATA Turn on Metadata Print and your camera data is printed directly onto your border — just like a lab print. Choose from 20 fonts including elegant scripts, classic serifs and clean sans-serifs. Set the colour to auto or pick any custom colour. Print on any edge — bottom, top, left or right — with the weighted border following automatically. COLOUR BORDERS Choose from curated classic tones, vibrant presets, or sample any colour directly from your photo using the built-in eyedropper with magnifier loupe. Save up to 6 custom colours for quick access. SHAPE YOUR BORDERS Control each corner independently — from fully rounded to square, mixed, or anything between. Create arches, D-shapes and compositions that are entirely your own. SOCIAL MEDIA READY Export to Instagram square, portrait, landscape or Story/TikTok formats with a single tap. Preview the canvas before you save. EXPORT YOUR WAY Choose JPEG, HEIC or lossless PNG. Set your own quality level. Your images, your format. EVERYTHING ELSE • White, black and custom colour borders • Double border with custom keyline colour — black, white, or any colour • Weighted border on any edge for that classic print look • Save up to 10 named profiles, synced to iCloud • Batch export up to 100 photos at once • Works completely offline • Saves to a dedicated Border Pro album in Photos VIDEO SUPPORT Photos and videos, treated the same way. Add gallery-style borders without cropping, compression, or loss of quality. Border Pro is for photographers who want their images to look considered, not filtered.
