Polaroid Frame

Add the Classic Instant-Photo Border

Wrap any photo in a classic Polaroid frame, with handwritten caption.

Drop an image or click to upload

Free to try.

Add the iconic Polaroid border — thin top, thicker bottom — to any photo. Includes optional space for a hand-written caption underneath. Multiple variants from clean modern Polaroids to weathered vintage prints. Perfect for scrapbook pages, vision boards, or social-post styling.

Border variants

  • Classic: the SX-70 instant film border. Thin top, fat bottom.
  • Mini Polaroid: Instax mini proportions.
  • Vintage worn: aged paper texture, slight discolouration on the border.
  • Square Instagram: equal borders all around for that 1:1 social look.
  • Wide film: 4×3 negative-style border with sprocket holes.

Caption space

Polaroid bottoms were for hand-written captions. We give you that space and a font picker that includes hand-written looks (Caveat, Patrick Hand, Indie Flower) plus marker-style options. The result reads like a real captioned print.

Use cases

  1. Photo collages for vision boards, mood boards, or scrapbook layouts.
  2. Wedding signage with photo-frame style invitations or programs.
  3. Social posts with the nostalgic instant-film aesthetic.
  4. Greeting cards built around captioned photos.

Pair with other vintage tools

For the full instant-film vibe, run your photo through Vintage Filter first (faded colours), then add Polaroid framing here, optionally with a light leak for extra authenticity.
