Add border to GIF settings

Border width runs from 0 to 60 px. The border goes around the outside, so the GIF grows by that much on every side and nothing is covered. A 300 x 200 GIF with a 10 px border comes out 320 x 220.

Border color is the color of the whole border.

Corner rounding runs from 0 to 50, as a share of the shorter side. At 50 the short ends are fully round, so a square GIF becomes a circle. The GIF's corners are rounded to match, and the area outside them is transparent. With Border width at 0 it only rounds the GIF's corners.

What stays the same

Every frame gets the same border and keeps its timing. A transparent background stays transparent. A still picture, such as a JPG or PNG, comes out as a one-frame GIF.

When a GIF border helps

A dark border marks where a GIF with a pale background ends on a light page. A round frame suits an avatar or a sticker.

Add border to GIF limits

A GIF or picture larger than 1000 px on its long side is scaled down to 1000 px before the border is added. A GIF with more than 300 frames is thinned to 300 or fewer and keeps its length, and a long GIF at a large size can be thinned further. GIF has no partial transparency, so each pixel along a rounded corner is either solid or clear.
