Mac BorderTool Pro crea marcos fotográficos profesionales desde la barra de menús –
sin Photoshop, sin suscripción, sin rodeos. Arrastra, carga un preset y listo.
Cuando PetaPixel clava el núcleo de la app, es más que una mención de prensa. Les dice a los fotógrafos para qué existe BorderTool Pro: presentación de alta gama sin un flujo pesado en Photoshop.
Uses el editor que uses, algo tan simple como un borde blanco limpio sigue llevando demasiados pasos y demasiado tiempo.
Resize canvas, set background color, create a layer, export. Five steps for one clean border. For 50 images, that can eat half an afternoon. “The learning curve is completely out of proportion to the result.” – Maximilian R., customer
Borders are possible, but there is no double border, no real batch workflow, no fast presets. “Luminar Neo is a nightmare for this, Pixelmator Pro still complicated.” – Lynton J., UK. For 30 images, you click through 30 dialogs.
Uploading images to third-party services. Often subscription-based, often watermarked, often with quality loss. Your images on someone else’s servers is not acceptable for professional work.
Writing scripts, recording actions, maintaining export presets, and starting over for every new look. No live preview, no color harmony assistant, no simple double-border preset.
Sin tutorial. Sin ritual de configuración. Sin curva de aprendizaje. Sabes al instante qué hacer.
Drag a file from Finder directly onto the menu bar icon, including HEIC files from iPhone. Or right-click → “Open with”. Drag & Drop
One keystroke loads your saved setup. Or press H for automatic color harmony, and the app chooses a matching border color for your image.
⌘S saves. ⌘C copies straight to the clipboard. Or share via AirDrop, iMessage or email, without another export detour.
Puedes definir cada color de marco manualmente con el selector, valores HEX o colores guardados. BorderTool Pro admite marcos simples, marcos dobles, esquinas redondeadas y bordes biselados. Armonía de color es la ruta rápida opcional: la app analiza tu foto y propone colores adecuados.
6 ejemplos, 6 imágenes muy distintas. Defines el look tú mismo o dejas que Armonía de color analice cada foto individualmente.
BorderTool Pro is not just a white edge. You combine borders, shapes and corners to fit the image: fast, repeatable and without Photoshop.
A clean border around your image. Minimal, fast and controlled, perfect for series, web galleries and social posts.
Control inner and outer border separately: width, color and visual weight can be set independently.
Soft corners for modern presentation, portfolios and images that should feel calmer and more digital.
Straight 45-degree edges for a distinctive look, especially strong with graphic images.
Drop folders or complete subfolder structures. BorderTool Pro processes everything in parallel on roughly 80% of your CPU cores, with progress and ETA right in the menu bar icon.
The settings panel is where the batch power lives. Format, quality, destination folder, resolution: configure once, and every export runs exactly the way you want.
Originals stay untouched by default, with a Trash fallback when overwriting.
Keep the original format or convert. Image quality and compression are controlled by slider.
Limit the long edge in pixels, ideal for web export or social media. Never upscale.

Not a single unhappy customer. That is not luck; it is the result of real photographer feedback built directly into the app.
“I used to try creating borders with Affinity, but the learning curve is completely out of proportion to the result. BorderTool Pro is exactly the fast and uncomplicated solution I was missing. As a music producer, I have spent plenty of money on far less efficient plug-ins. With this tool, you do not have to think twice.”
"I've spent ages trying to add borders simply and easily. Luminar Neo is a nightmare for this, Pixelmator Pro still complicated. Then I discovered BorderTool Pro. It is a dream — very simple and intuitive. This is exactly what an app should be. It does one job easily, without any complications. First class!"
"The ability to add two separate borders, corner styles, colours and then save them as presets is a game changer. The time savings alone was worth the upgrade, but it's also so easy to use. The support from Michael is second to none. I'd give it more stars if I could."
Whether you use Capture One, Lightroom, Apple Photos or Darkroom, BorderTool Pro fits right in.
“I always used Darkroom, but by comparison it is simply slow and cumbersome. On top of that, the double border is missing. Even complete folders can be processed incredibly quickly. I would buy it again any time.”
"This tool is a must in order to present images in a professional way. The double border is a wow! I have used it for more than 300 images and the borders really lift my images. El desarrollador is superb in replying to questions and proposals. I can only recommend this."
“Some tools make one specific use case truly simple. BorderTool Pro is one of those tools. A very simple interface, and a friendly developer who listens to user ideas. My absolute recommendation, from genuine conviction.”
An honest comparison, so you know exactly what you are getting.

A 3 % border looks just as proportional on a 1080 px Instagram export as it does on a 6000 px print-ready file. Pixel values feel too heavy on small exports and barely visible on high-resolution prints. Set it once in %, and it stays consistent across cameras and formats.
Export from Capture One or Lightroom as TIFF whenever quality matters: lossless, no compression. BorderTool Pro can convert to JPEG at the end, so JPEG compression happens only once. Exporting JPEG first and saving JPEG again means two compression passes, with visible artifacts.
Neither Capture One nor Adobe Lightroom offers a native border tool. BorderTool Pro closes that gap and fits into your export workflow like an invisible plug-in. Set it up once, and it runs automatically after every export.
Open or create a Process Recipe template in Capture One.
In “Open With…” select BorderTool Pro.
Start the export. BorderTool Pro frames automatically. No manual retouching, no Photoshop detour.
Open the Export dialog in Lightroom (File → Export).
At the bottom: “After Export” → “Open in Other Application” → select BorderTool Pro.
Export. BorderTool Pro immediately applies your preset settings. No Photoshop, no extra app.
⌘1–⌘8. Every exported image instantly gets the right look, fully automatically.Select a photo in Apple Photos → click “Edit”.

Las cuatro dudas más comunes, y por qué no deberían frenarte.
Totalmente comprensible. BorderTool Pro está notarizado por Apple, así que macOS verifica la app automáticamente en el primer inicio. Sin sustos de seguridad, sin problema con Gatekeeper. Como una app de la App Store, solo que sin sumar el 30 % de Apple al precio.
No. Todo ocurre 100 % localmente en tu Mac. Sin servidores, sin nube, sin cuenta. Tus imágenes nunca salen de tu ordenador: ni al abrir la app, ni al exportar, ni durante las actualizaciones.
Por defecto, la app siempre crea un archivo nuevo. “Reemplazar original” es una opción deliberada, con aviso claro y recuperación desde la papelera. Solo ocurre si la eliges activamente.
Muy probablemente sí. Compatible con JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, HEIC/HEIF, incluidas fotos de iPhone directamente. Si tu cámara escribe un formato estándar, funciona. O pruébalo gratis con tus propios archivos.
No. BorderTool Pro es una compra única de 39 €. Sin suscripción, sin cuotas mensuales. Todas las futuras actualizaciones están incluidas.
Sí. Descarga la prueba gratis y prueba la app con tus propias imágenes: sin cuenta y sin suscripción.
