How To Add A Border To An Image
Tags: border, how, image, to add, Tutorial
This tutorial will show you the simple way to add a border to an images. I’ll show two methods that you can use. Your image will look like after you add a border.
Image without border
Image with border
Method 1
In this method, I’ll show you how to add border using The GNU Image Manipulation Program, GIMP. GIMP is a free software. You can download HERE.
Step 1
Click on Select menu and click All.
Step 2
Then, click on Select menu again and click Border
Step 3
A new window will open. Choose your pixel. I usually use two. Click Ok
Step 4
Now, Click on Edit menu and and hit on Fill with FG Color. You already finish =)
Method 2
This is the most simple method. No software needed.
Use the following code :
<img src=”Your_Image_Adress” style=”border:2px solid #000000″>
Example:
My image location is “blinkky.com/images/logo_without_border.gif”
The code that I’ll use look like below :
<img src=”http://www.blinkky.com/images/logo_without_border.gif“style=”border:2px solid #000000″>
Now, My image will look like below:
You can change the border to any size you want. That’s it. All done =)

Nice little tutorial!
Personally I just use fireworks and physically draw lines around the edge. It takes too much time though and is really annoying if you have to do loads
I wonder if there’s any websites that automatically adds borders to images :S

I have always added the border via html code, but it seems that GIMP does it very easily. I think I will try this.
Thanks for sharing

I used GIMP a long time ago but it’s a cool photo editor!
Sometimes the border script is in the CSS styles file so you have to check it out.

@ Azah,
I’m still a newbie with GIMP but I really love to use it. Personally I like to use Photoshop. Maybe because I’ve been using Photoshop for a long time. Try GIMP, maybe you’ll like it =)

I always like having borders in images. I think it looks more pro when one can place a border around an image. GIMP is a good program to start with, and it’s free, too.
