How to convert Add border to image

  1. Drop the image.
  2. Pick the width and colour.
  3. Press Apply and download.

What happens to your file

The canvas is extended on all four sides by the width you chose — a per cent of the shorter side — and the new margin is filled with the colour. Nothing of the picture is covered; the file grows by the frame.

Questions

A border with rounded corners?

Round corners first, then add the border — the frame follows the outer edge.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "image.effect",
    "options": {
      "effect": "border",
      "width": 4,
      "color": "#ffffff",
      "format": "same"
    }
  }'

The same operation, image.effect — Four small edits: rounded corners (with transparency), a border, a pixelation, a blur — sizes as a per cent of the shorter side. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
