A frame, a gap, rounded corners and a soft shadow, sized in real pixels.
Pick Border to frame a picture with a coloured edge and optional inner padding, or Round corners to cut the corners into curves and nothing else. Outside the curves the PNG is transparent, so it sits on any background. Keep the image's own size, or fit the whole frame into 1280 x 720 or a square.

Good for screenshots in a thumbnail, product shots, quote cards, photo prints with a white edge and app-style rounded images. To crop into a circle or an oval instead, use Circle Crop.
Drop, paste or pick a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB. It stays in your browser.
Set the border width and colour, the padding, the corner radius and the shadow, or switch to Round corners to only curve the edges.
Keep the image at its own size with the frame added around it, or fit everything into 1280 x 720 or 1080 x 1080, then download or open it in the editor.
Border builds a frame from the outside in: the border colour, then the padding colour, then your image. With a corner radius the three layers curve together, and each inner curve is smaller by the width outside it, so the gap between the edge and the picture stays even all the way round the corner instead of pinching.
Round corners has no border and no padding. It cuts the four corners of the image into quarter circles of the radius you set, and everything outside them is transparent in the PNG. That is the look of app icons, cards and phone screenshots, and the transparent corners mean it drops onto a dark or a light thumbnail without a white box showing.
At Image + border the picture keeps every pixel and the frame is added around it, so the output is the image's width plus twice the border plus twice the padding. A 1280 x 720 screenshot with a 24 px border and 16 px of padding comes out at 1360 x 800.
At 1280 x 720 or 1080 x 1080 the output is exactly that size and the image is scaled so the whole frame fits inside. The same screenshot with the same 24 px border and 16 px padding becomes a 1138 x 640 picture inside a 1218 x 720 frame, centred with 31 px of space left and right. Those 31 px are transparent unless you tick Fill around and pick a colour, which is what you want for a YouTube thumbnail.
The shadow needs room to fade out, so it adds a margin on every side: one and a half times the shadow size plus a quarter of it for the downward offset. A 24 px shadow adds 42 px each side at Image + border, and takes 42 px from the space the frame can use at a fixed size.
PNG keeps the transparent corners and the transparent space around the frame. JPG has no transparency at all, so a JPG download fills those areas with your Fill around colour, or with white if Fill around is off. For a thumbnail you will put in the editor over a background, keep the PNG; for a quick post where the background is already decided, the JPG is smaller.
Keep going: your result carries over to the next tool with no re-upload.
