Add a Polaroid Frame

The instant-photo look, on any picture

The Polaroid frame is one of the most recognisable looks in photography: a white border all around the image with a noticeably deeper strip along the bottom — the space where you'd scribble a date or a name. It reads as nostalgic, personal, and handmade, which is why it's so popular for collages, scrapbooks, mood boards, and social posts.

This tool recreates that frame faithfully. Open a photo and it's wrapped in a clean white border with the classic thicker bottom lip — no fiddling required. The frame is drawn at full resolution, so your picture stays sharp, and you can drop the result straight into a collage or print it.

How to make a Polaroid frame

1. Open your photo. Drag it onto the tool, choose a file, or paste it.
2. Polaroid is ready. The page opens with the white instant-photo frame already applied, complete with the thicker bottom strip.
3. Download. Save the Polaroid-framed image, or switch the style if you want a plain border instead.

Make a Polaroid collage

Polaroid frames look great in groups. Frame several photos the same way, then arrange them — slightly tilted, overlapping — in any collage or document for a pinboard feel. Square-ish crops suit the format best.
