  • Keep it subtle: Avoid overly thick or bright borders that distract from your actual profile picture.
  • Match your brand: Choose border colors that complement your brand colors or personal aesthetic.
  • Consider the platform: Different platforms have different display styles - test how your bordered avatar looks in context.
  • Maintain consistency: Use the same border style across all your social media profiles for brand recognition.
  • Test readability: Ensure your profile picture remains clear and recognizable with the added border.
  • Use high contrast: Choose border colors that provide good contrast with your profile picture content.

Platform-Specific Recommendations

Instagram Profile Pictures

Use subtle borders (2-4px) in brand colors. Instagram's circular display works well with gradient or shadow effects.

LinkedIn Professional Avatars

Keep borders minimal and professional. Solid colors or subtle shadows work best for business networking.

Twitter/X Profile Photos

Medium-thickness borders (3-5px) work well. Consider using your brand colors for consistency.

Discord Server Icons

Bold, decorative borders are popular. Use vibrant colors and patterns that match your server's theme.
