Can I pick a border color directly from the photo?

Yes. Use the integrated color dropper to match your border perfectly to a tone in the photo.

Are files sent to a server?

No. All canvas resizing occurs locally in your browser.

Can I add asymmetric borders (e.g. thicker bottom border for Polaroid effect)?

Yes. You can customize individual top, bottom, left, and right border widths independently.

Does the border work with transparent PNGs?

Yes. The canvas expands around the transparent bounding box cleanly.

Can I create asymmetric Polaroid-style borders with extra bottom padding?

Yes. You can unlock uniform border width and specify a larger bottom border margin (e.g. 80px) to leave space for handwritten captions or digital signatures.
