About Polaroid Frame Generator
The Polaroid Frame Generator wraps any photo in the instantly recognisable white instant-camera border — thin even margins on three sides and a deeper strip along the bottom where the caption lives.
It is the nostalgic, scrapbook look that suits travel snaps, profile pictures, mood boards and social posts, and it takes one drag-and-drop to create.
You stay in control of the proportions.
A frame-thickness slider sets how chunky the white border is relative to your photo, and a caption-strip slider widens or narrows the bottom band so short labels and longer notes both sit comfortably.
Type your caption and it is rendered in a handwritten-style font, centred in the strip and automatically scaled to fit, giving that felt-tip-on-film feel without any fiddly positioning.
The geometry behind it all is a small pure function, so the frame stays perfectly proportional whether your photo is a tall portrait or a wide landscape.
Everything is drawn with the Canvas API on your own device — no upload, no account, no tracking — so private photos stay private.
When you are happy with the framing and caption, download a lossless PNG of the finished polaroid, ready to print or share.
FAQ
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The frame and caption are drawn with the Canvas API inside your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.
Why is the bottom border wider?
That deeper strip mimics a real polaroid and leaves room for the caption, which is centred and scaled to fit automatically.
Can I leave the caption blank?
Yes. With no caption you still get the clean white polaroid frame; the bottom strip simply stays empty.
