How to turn a photo into an instant print.

  1. Choose a photo

    Pick any photo from your phone or computer. It is processed in your browser and never uploaded.

  2. Pick a format and frame

    Square is the classic instant print, Mini is tall and narrow, and Wide is landscape. Choose a white, cream or black border.

  3. Add a caption

    Write a date, a place or a few words. It appears in handwriting style on the wide bottom border.

  4. Save it

    Download a 1200 px wide JPEG, or save it straight to Photos on your phone.

Questions about the frame.

Is the instant frame tool free?

Yes. It is free, adds no watermark and needs no account. Everything happens in your browser.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Your photos are processed on your own device by your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so the tools also work with private photos.

What sizes are the frames?

They follow real instant-print proportions: Square has a 79 × 79 mm picture in an 88 × 107 mm frame, Mini a 46 × 62 mm picture in a 54 × 86 mm frame, and Wide a 99 × 62 mm picture in a 108 × 86 mm frame. Exports are 1200 px wide.

Can I make several framed photos into a collage?

Yes. In the Glassy app you can place instant-print frames and stickers on one canvas and spread them across carousel slides, as in the Summer Keepsakes and Camera Roll templates.

Can I download just the frame as a PNG?

Yes. Choose a format, a frame color and an optional caption, then tap Download frame PNG. The picture window is transparent, so you can place any photo behind it in another app.

Is this an official Polaroid product?

No. It recreates the look of instant prints. Polaroid is a trademark of its owner, and this tool is not affiliated with it.
