# Border & Frame Add borders, padding, rounded corners, and drop shadows to images. The tool applies effects in order: padding, border, corner radius, then shadow. ## API Endpoint `POST /api/v1/tools/border` ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | borderWidth | number | No | 10 | Border thickness in pixels (0 to 2000) | | borderColor | string | No | `"#000000"` | Border color as hex (e.g. `#FF0000`) | | padding | number | No | 0 | Inner padding between image and border in pixels (0 to 200) | | paddingColor | string | No | `"#FFFFFF"` | Padding fill color as hex | | cornerRadius | number | No | 0 | Corner radius in pixels (0 to 2000) | | shadow | boolean | No | `false` | Whether to add a drop shadow | | shadowBlur | number | No | 15 | Shadow blur radius (1 to 200) | | shadowOffsetX | number | No | 0 | Shadow horizontal offset (-50 to 50) | | shadowOffsetY | number | No | 5 | Shadow vertical offset (-50 to 50) | | shadowColor | string | No | `"#000000"` | Shadow color as hex | | shadowOpacity | number | No | 40 | Shadow opacity percentage (0 to 100) | ## Example Request ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:13490/api/v1/tools/border \ -F "file=@photo.jpg" \ -F 'settings={"borderWidth":20,"borderColor":"#333333","cornerRadius":16,"shadow":true,"shadowBlur":25,"shadowOpacity":50}' ``` ## Example Response ```json { "jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890", "downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/photo.png", "originalSize": 456789, "processedSize": 523456 } ``` ## Notes - Uses the standard `createToolRoute` factory. Accepts a single image file via multipart upload. - Supports HEIC, RAW, PSD, and SVG input formats (automatically decoded). - Processing order: padding is added first, then the border wraps around, then corner radius is applied, then the shadow is composited. - When `cornerRadius` or `shadow` is enabled, the output is forced to PNG (regardless of input format) to preserve transparency. Formats that support alpha (PNG, WebP, AVIF) keep their original format. - The shadow is shape-aware: it follows the rounded corners rather than creating a rectangular shadow. - Setting `borderWidth` to 0 and using only `cornerRadius` + `shadow` creates a frameless rounded shadow effect.
