Published in Photo Editing 3 mins read

Adding a frame to a picture on your Samsung Galaxy phone running One UI 6.1 is a straightforward process using the built-in photo editor. This allows you to easily enhance your photos with a border, choosing its color and size.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a Border Frame

To add a border or frame to your photo without cropping it, follow these steps within your Galaxy phone's photo editor:

  1. Open the Photo: Navigate to your Gallery app and select the picture you wish to add a frame to.
  2. Enter Edit Mode: Tap the Edit icon (usually represented by a pencil) at the bottom of the screen to open the photo editor.
  3. Bypass Cropping: When presented with the initial editing options, if you want the entire photo to be framed without any cropping, do not select anything or make any adjustments on this screen.
  4. Proceed to Border Options: Tap Next (or a similar forward arrow/check mark, depending on the exact UI flow after the initial edit screen) to move past the cropping interface.
  5. Customize Your Border:
    • Pick a Color: On the subsequent screen, you will find options to pick a color for your border. Tap on the color palette to choose your desired hue.
    • Adjust Border Size: Alongside the color options, there will be a slider or similar control to adjust the Border Size. Drag the slider to increase or decrease the thickness of the frame to your preference.
  6. Finalize and Save: Once you are satisfied with the border color and size, tap the Save or Done button (often a checkmark or a "Save" text option) to apply the frame and save your edited picture.

Tips for Enhancing Your Photos

  • Experiment with Colors: Try different border colors that complement or contrast with your photo's subjects to achieve various aesthetic effects.
  • Border Thickness: A thinner border can offer a subtle enhancement, while a thicker one can create a bold, art-like statement.
  • Explore Other Editing Tools: Your Galaxy phone's editor also offers numerous other tools like filters, light adjustments, and stickers that can be combined with frames for unique looks.
  • Third-Party Apps: For more advanced framing options, unique textures, or artistic borders not available in the default editor, consider exploring third-party photo editing apps available on the Google Play Store.

By following these steps, you can effectively add a personalized frame to your pictures on your Samsung Galaxy phone, giving them a polished and professional finish.
