Add Borders or Layouts to Photo Prints

Before you start

Open the online editor for Photographic Prints and add your images. Order Photo Prints Online covers these steps. If you'd rather design your own border, embed it in your file in Photoshop before you upload.

Add a standard border

The standard border is 5% of the print's short side, and never smaller than ¼". On an 11×14" print, that's 5% of 11".

1. On the right, choose the print size, paper, and any finishing.
2. Select the border checkbox below the mounting options.
3. Drag an image into the workspace.
4. Optional: Click the image to move it, and zoom in or out. How far you can move it depends on the image's crop ratio. If your file is low resolution or too small, the editor may not let you zoom or scale it.
5. Click the check mark when you're done.

Choose a layout

Layouts offer more border styles than the standard border.

1. Click Add Product at the top to start a new print, or start from your first print.
2. At the bottom, click Layouts and choose a layout, such as a thicker or uneven border.
3. Drag an image into the workspace.
4. Optional: Click the image to move it, and zoom in or out.
5. On the right, check the size, paper, and finishing.

Alternatively, choose Create Collage under Layouts to add a collage of multiple images to one print.

1. Click Create Collage.
2. Select all images you want to add.
3. The Layouts panel will now show different collage layouts to choose from.
4. Optional: Close the Layouts panel and drag the edges of the group to resize.

Tip: Layouts and Collages are also available on many other products in the online editor.

2. Click Add to Cart. Your prints go into the cart as one group.
