Place your photo inside a decorative Instagram Story frame and export a crisp image at the right size. The canvas is a true 9:16 story shape at 1080 × 1920 pixels, so every frame you build is ready to post. Pick a style or editable template, drop in your photo, adjust the border, colours and text, then download — all free and processed privately in your browser.
A story frame uses the same dimensions as the story itself: a 9:16 ratio at 1080 × 1920 px. Designing on that exact canvas means your framed photo fills the screen with no awkward borders or cropping when you upload it. This maker locks the canvas to story size by default, so you can focus on the frame and photo rather than the measurements.
Clean single or layered borders that sit around your photo.
Retro photo-print and film looks with room for a caption.
Colour-blended edges or a divided layout for two moods.
Minimal corner accents or social-ready framed cards.
Magazine-style frames with refined type and spacing.
Themed starting points for birthdays, holidays and more.
These sound similar but are unrelated. Frame rate is a video term — the number of frames per second (FPS) in a Reel or clip. A story frame is a visual border or layout around a still photo. This tool is a still-image editor, so it designs the decorative frame; it does not record video or change frame rate. If you searched for “frame” hoping for a border around your photo, you are in the right place.
The special-occasion templates make it easy to build a themed story — a Father’s Day frame, a birthday border or a holiday layout — by swapping in your photo and editing the text. When your design looks right, export it as a full-resolution 1080 × 1920 PNG or JPEG. PNG keeps sharp edges and text crisp; JPEG keeps the file smaller for photo-heavy frames. Your photos are autosaved only to your own device and never uploaded.
An Instagram Story — and therefore a story frame — uses a 9:16 vertical ratio at 1080 × 1920 pixels. This maker works on that exact canvas, so when you place your photo inside a frame and export, the finished image already matches the size Instagram expects.
No. “Frame rate” means the number of video frames per second (FPS) in a Reel or video. A story frame in this tool is a decorative border or layout that surrounds a still photo. This is an image editor, so it deals with the visual frame, not video frame rate.
You can choose from border, double, gradient, split, corners, polaroid, filmstrip, social and editorial frame styles, plus editable templates grouped into minimal, social, polaroid, film, modern and special-occasion categories. Every template stays fully editable after you open it.
Yes. You can export a full-resolution 1080 × 1920 PNG or JPEG. PNG is best when the frame has sharp edges or text; JPEG keeps the file smaller for photo-heavy designs.
Yes. The special-occasion templates and editable text make it easy to build an occasion story — for example a Father’s Day frame with a photo, a short message and a themed border. You simply pick a template or style, drop in your photo, and adjust the colours and text.
