Foto Polaroid

Turn any photo into a classic Polaroid — a thick border, a soft vignette, and a hint of casual tilt, all rendered instantly in your browser with no upload and no watermark.

How it works

Upload an image, then adjust the frame to taste:

• Border Size — how thick the frame is around the photo, from a slim edge to a chunky classic border.
• Border Color — the frame color. Classic Polaroid is white, but any color works.
• Vignette Strength — darkens the corners of the photo for that faded, aged look. Higher values darken more.
• Contrast — pulls shadows and highlights further apart or flattens them.
• Saturation — pushes colors toward gray (negative, for a muted, vintage feel) or makes them more vivid (positive).
• Add Caption Space — reserves extra blank space at the bottom of the frame, like the strip you'd hand-write a caption on below a real Polaroid. This tool doesn't render any text into that space — it's just a matching blank area you can annotate afterward in an image editor.
• Rotation — tilts the whole card a few degrees for a casual, tossed-on-a-table look. Because the frame doesn't grow to fit the tilt, larger angles can clip the corners slightly, just like a real print rotated on a flat surface.

The result renders instantly as you adjust the controls. Download it as an SVG file, or copy its source markup directly.

Tips

• Keep Border Size proportional to your photo's resolution — a small border on a very large photo can look thin; scale it up for high-res images.
• A little Vignette Strength (10–25%) reads as a natural lens falloff; push past 50% for a heavily aged, edge-darkened look.
• Negative Saturation paired with slightly positive Contrast gives the most convincing faded-film effect.
• The downloaded SVG stays crisp at any size since it's a vector wrapper around your original image — resizing it doesn't lose quality the way a rasterized export would.
