We will add new borders again soon!

Last time I showed you 15 Instagram theme ideas using Preview app. And you loved it! A lot of you are now wondering how to add white borders on Instagram photos.

Keep reading to see examples of themes with white borders I made with Preview app.

Quick tips before you apply a white border on your photos:

  • Always crop your photos “square” if you want a white border around your photos because Instagram shows “squared” photos in your feed. You need the white border to come on top of a square photo for your overall theme to look consistent.
  • Apply a filter before you add a white border; otherwise your white border will change color after you add a filter.

1. Go in the Photo Editor section

Add your photos inside Preview App.

If needed, apply your favorite filter now.

Otherwise, time to add a white border.

To add a white border on your photo:

  • Select a photo and tap the middle (circle) icon
  • Go inside the Photo Editor section (the settings icon)

2. Select “Frames”

You will see many photo editing options.

Select “Frames” (that’s what the “borders” are called in Preview).

There are a lot of different white borders you can use.

Here are some examples of Instagram themes I have made using the white borders:
