Border

With reaConverter you can add customizable borders to all your images at once, in a matter of seconds.
Adding borders to a photograph can artfully complement it, making certain colors stand out and offering a more distinct and well-defined look. Bordering or framing images is also extremely useful when you want to use them to design a website, because this feature helps highlight their content and distinguish them better from the background.

How to Add Border to a Batch of Images?

1. Open Images

Add all the images you intend to border by picking them manually from a local folder, adding an entire folder or using reaConverter's handy drag-and-drop feature.

2. Add Border Action

Go to the Image editing tab and click Add action → Creative Retouching → Border

Here you can decide if you want to have an inside or an outside border to your photos, and pick its color and width. The former can be chosen using a color picker directly on the preview image on the right, which you can see when you tick the Preview button.

3. Save the Result

Select a location where the newly bordered images will be saved. reaConverter offers a full list of image formats available for conversion, including popular ones, such as JPG, PNG or WebP, but also archaic and rare ones.

After selecting the one you want, simply press Convert and your new images will be ready in a few moments!

Adding the same border to a bulk of images on your PC

A quick and easy way to add borders to multiple images on your computer is to use reaConverter. The software works completely offline, keeping your files safe and private.

Border with command-line tool

You can also add border using command-line interface, either manually or through automated scripts. reaConverter Pro includes a command-line tool called cons_rcp.exe — an advanced feature designed for professional use, available exclusively in the Pro edition.

Border example:

cons_rcp.exe -s "C:\Path_to\input_file.jpg" -o "C:\Path_to\output_file.jpg" -add_border w10 rgb(255,0,0) in
