About This Feature
This page lets you give a photo a "Polaroid" look, as if shot with an instant camera, online and for free.
By adding a white border, a soft drop shadow, and a slight tilt, it gives a retro, stylish feel — like a photo laid gently on a table.
You can set the tilt angle just by moving a slider, intuitively and with no special knowledge.
Supported file formats are JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, and HEIC.

What is the Polaroid Effect?
The Polaroid effect adds a white border, a shadow, and a slight tilt to make a photo look like an instant-camera print.
It gives an analog, retro feel — as if tossed casually on a desk — perfect for keepsake photos, social media posts, and album or scrapbook materials.
Settings
- Tilt (Angle)
The angle by which the photo is tilted. A positive value tilts it one way, a negative value the other; 0 keeps it straight (no tilt). Adjust it to taste.
Examples of Use
Turn a keepsake photo into a stylish Polaroid-style print
Give social media or blog images a retro feel
Make materials for albums, scrapbooks, and collages
Add a white border and shadow for a photo with more depth
