How to add a polaroid frame to a photo

  1. Upload a photo from your phone or computer. Nothing is uploaded to a server; the frame is drawn in your browser.
  2. Pick a frame. Instax Mini is the tall, wallet-sized print; Square and classic Polaroid suit square photos; Wide fits landscapes and group shots.
  3. Drag to reposition and use the zoom slider until faces sit comfortably inside the window. Leave a little space above heads; real instant photos rarely crop tight.
  4. Add a filter and a caption. Captions go on the wide bottom border in a handwritten style, the way people have always written on instant film.
  5. Download the full-size PNG, or tap Print this on real Instax film to order it as a physical print.

Tips for a polaroid that looks real

Polaroid frame FAQ

Is this polaroid frame maker really free?

Yes. Framing and downloading are free with no signup, no watermark and no email required. Your photo never leaves your device: all of the framing happens in your browser.

What size is a polaroid frame?

It depends on the film. A classic Polaroid 600 or i-Type print is 88 x 107 mm (3.5 x 4.2 in) with a 79 x 79 mm image. An Instax Mini print is 54 x 86 mm (2.1 x 3.4 in) with a 46 x 62 mm image. Instax Square is 72 x 86 mm with a 62 x 62 mm image, and Instax Wide is 108 x 86 mm with a 99 x 62 mm image. Every frame in this tool uses those real proportions.

How do I use a blank polaroid template in Canva or Photoshop?

Download a template PNG from this page. The photo window is transparent, so place the template on a layer above your photo, then move and resize the photo underneath until it fills the window. In Canva, upload the PNG, add your photo, and use Position > Backward to send the photo behind the frame.

Why is the bottom border of a polaroid thicker?

On real instant film the wide bottom border holds the pod of developing chemicals that the camera's rollers spread across the image when the print is ejected. The thick edge became the look, and people have written captions on it ever since.

Can I get my framed photo printed on real instant film?

Yes. We print phone photos on genuine Fujifilm Instax Mini and Instax Square film, starting at $18 for five prints with free US shipping. Use the Print this for real button after framing a Mini or Square photo and it carries your photo, crop and filter straight into the order page. Printed orders come in Classic White or Monochrome, and we don't print captions, so write yours on the border by hand.

Want the real thing?
