About

Borderz

Features
Read full description

Borderz puts a clean, adjustable border around your photos — one at a time, or a whole trip at once. A photo in a frame reads differently than a photo on its own. A mat or border isn't decoration; it's what turns an image into something you stop and look at. Borderz brings that idea to the photos in your pocket. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick one photo, or up to 50. No setup, no account. 2. Frame them. Choose Square or Original, drag the border width, pick a color, and add a caption. The preview updates instantly. 3. Share. Export at Low, Medium, or High resolution to Photos, Messages, or any app. BATCH EDITING • Give a whole set of photos the same look in one go • Tweak any single photo on top, such as a different color or caption, without touching the rest • Share every photo at once CROP & ROTATE • Zoom, reposition, and rotate right in the app • Popular aspect ratios: 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 and more • Cropping is applied at full resolution when you export SMART CAPTIONS • Three layouts: Auto, Split (location on the left, date on the right), and Free placement • Text sizes itself to fit your photo, with a slider to fine-tune • 20 fonts, from clean sans to typewriter and script • Dates fill in automatically from when each photo was taken • Text colors picked from your photo, or any color you like • The preview zooms in on your caption as you type PRESETS • Save a look you love and apply it to any photo in one tap MAKE IT YOURS • Border width from a hairline to a wide gallery mat • Photo outline in any color, from a hairline to bold • Border colors suggested from your photo, plus presets and a full color wheel • Center Photo option for perfectly balanced borders with captions • Tap the preview to see it fullscreen and zoom in PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos never leave your device.
