White or black border via Drag & Drop or directly on export from Capture One and Lightroom. No Photoshop, no detours, no cropping.
Capture One and Lightroom offer no native border feature. What's left are workarounds that cost you time.
Extend canvas, set background color, create layer, export – five steps for a white border. With 50 photos: half an afternoon gone.
Neither application offers a convenient border feature. Exports deliver images without borders – you have to add each frame manually.
Uploading your photos to third-party servers, often with forced subscriptions or watermarks. Not an option for professional work.
Opening each photo individually, setting borders, saving. With weddings or events involving hundreds of images, that costs hours.
The Windows Border Tool works whichever way suits you best.
Select photos in Windows Explorer and drag them onto the Border Tool. Choose border color and width – done. Perfect for finished JPEGs from any application.
Add the Border Tool as a post-processing step in your Capture One recipe. Start the export – the border is added automatically, no extra step needed.
In Lightroom's export dialog, set the Border Tool under "Post-Processing". Lightroom calls it automatically after each export.
The principle is identical for Windows and Mac: start the export, Border Tool takes over, framed photo ready.
The video shows the export from Capture One – on Windows it works identically. You set the border color and width, confirm, and the rest runs automatically in the background.
No Photoshop, no layers, no actions. Once set up, the Border Tool runs fully automatically after every export.

Open or create a processing recipe in Capture One.
In the "Post-Processing" section, add the Border Tool as the application.
Start the export – the Border Tool adds the frame automatically. No manual step, no detour.
