Borderz
Read full descriptionHide full description
Borderz is a small, free app that does one thing well: it puts a clean, adjustable border around your photo. A photo in a frame reads differently than a photo on its own. Museums have known this for centuries — a mat or border isn't decoration, it's what turns an image into something you'd stop and look at. Borderz brings that idea to the photo in your pocket, in three taps. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a photo. Borderz opens straight to your library — no setup, no account. 2. Frame it. Choose Square or Original, drag the border width, and pick a color. The preview updates instantly as you adjust. 3. Share it. Export at Low, Medium, or High resolution and send it to Photos, Messages, Instagram, or anywhere else. TWO STYLES • Square — your photo centered on a square canvas, ready for the grid • Original — the border grows around your photo while keeping its exact aspect ratio MAKE IT YOURS • Border width from a hairline to a wide gallery mat, with live preview • Eight preset colors — white, black, cream, and five accents • A full color wheel when you want an exact shade • One-tap reset to start over PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos never leave your device. There is no Borderz server, no account, no analytics, no ads. The app asks for photo access only to let you choose a picture and save the finished one. COMPLETELY FREE No subscription, no in-app purchases, no locked features. Every tool is available to everyone from the first open. Questions or ideas?
