How Do I Create a Border Around an Image in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:57 pm

Assuming you have an image open in Photoshop:

1) Select the “Rectangle Tool” from the left toolbar. It looks like a square.

2) In the top menu, click on “View” and then “New Guide Layout.” A new window will pop up.

3) Enter the number of pixels you want for your border in the “Columns” field and the “Rows” field. For example, if you wanted a 2 pixel border, you would enter “2” in both fields. Then, click “OK.”

4) Using your mouse, click and drag from the top left corner of your image to the bottom right corner. This will create a rectangle that is your desired border size.

5) With the rectangle selected, go to the top menu and click “Edit,” then “Fill.

6) In the “Use” field, select “White” from the drop-down menu.” Your border is now complete!
