Step-by-step instructions
- Keep the original image. Choose JPEG, PNG or WebP within the size limits shown above. This tool works locally in your browser; no account or credits are needed.
- Choose the source image. Check its dimensions and the original preview.
- Choose an image with transparency, set outline color, position, width and opacity, then apply and export.
- Press Process image. Compare the result with the original, choose PNG, JPEG or WebP, then download the result. Changing a setting clears the previous result.
- The canvas size stays fixed: outer strokes touching its edge are clipped. Opaque photos have no outer alpha edge within the canvas; use inside mode for a rectangular border.
On a computer
Drag the image into the file area or use the file picker. Use the sliders and arrow keys for precise adjustments. Open the question marks for explanations.
On a phone
Choose a photo from Files or your gallery. Tap a question mark for help. Keep this tab open while processing; save the result before leaving the page.
In Safari on iPhone, open the sharing menu and choose Save to Files if the result opens in a new tab. In Android Chrome, check Downloads. Keep this tab open until processing finishes.
For a better result
The canvas size stays fixed: outer strokes touching its edge are clipped. Opaque photos have no outer alpha edge within the canvas; use inside mode for a rectangular border.

Questions and troubleshooting
Does this recover missing detail or change my original file?
No. Processing creates a new image and leaves the original file unchanged. Clipped highlights, blocked shadows and missing parts cannot be reconstructed by these filters.
Output format
PNG preserves transparency. JPEG uses a white background. WebP support depends on your browser.
If you see a message that the service is overloaded, wait and try again later. A failed attempt does not mean that your source file has changed.
