Questions, answered
Polaroid Maker online FAQ
How do I make a Polaroid photo online?
Add your picture to the editor, choose a frame style, adjust the crop, write a caption or add a date, then select Download Polaroid.
Is this Polaroid Maker online and free?
Yes. It is completely free to use, requires no account and does not put a watermark on your finished image.
Does the tool upload or store my photo?
No. The editor uses your browser's Canvas API, so your photo stays on your device and is never sent to our server.
Can I add a custom caption or date?
Yes. Type up to 42 characters, choose handwritten, serif or sans-serif lettering, change the text size and show or hide today's date.
Can I reposition the photo inside the frame?
Yes. Use the zoom, horizontal and vertical sliders to compose the image without permanently cropping your original file.
What is the best format for my Polaroid photo?
PNG keeps text and edges especially crisp. JPG is widely compatible for sharing, while WebP usually makes a smaller file.
