 FAQ

Can I adjust the size of the Polaroid border?

Yes, our Polaroid Photo Tool allows you to customize the border size using a slider. You can set it from very thin to extra thick depending on your preference and the specific Polaroid look you're trying to achieve.
How do I add text to my Polaroid photos?

While our tool offers a caption space option that adds the traditional white area at the bottom of the image where text would typically appear on original Polaroids, you would need to add the actual text using a separate image editing program after downloading your Polaroid-style images.
What's the difference between vignette and contrast settings?

The vignette setting adds darkening to the corners and edges of your photo, typical of vintage Polaroid cameras. Contrast adjusts the overall difference between light and dark areas throughout the entire image. For an authentic Polaroid look, a slight vignette with slightly reduced contrast often works best.
How can I get the most authentic Polaroid look?

For the most authentic vintage Polaroid appearance, we recommend using a white border with size set around 40-60, vignette strength at 1-2, slightly reduced contrast (set to -5 to -10), and slightly reduced saturation (set to -5 to -10). Adding a small rotation of 2-5 degrees also helps create that casual, hand-placed look.
