Graphic Photo Frame Inspiration
Thinking of creating more graphic photo frames, or simply need some extra inspiration to get started? It doesn’t matter what vibe you’re going for with your social media or blog images, we’ve got a digital photo frame for you!
Floral
Our Graphic Library is filled to the brim with floral graphics, all of which are perfect for creating a fun, flower-filled frame for your image.
In this example, we’ve opted for some beautiful floral line drawings to give this simple black and white portrait a more whimsical feel. We’ve then added some color to a few of these floral graphics to create additional contrast and intrigue.
Decorative Lines
If you’d prefer to create a photo frame for your graphics that utilizes lines, then you’re also in luck. There’s a wide variety of line graphics within the Graphic Library, ranging from simple to artistic.
Take these curvy brush strokes, for example, which create a one-of-a-kind frame that took just seconds to whip-up.
Colorful Shapes
Perhaps you’d like to turn up the fun-factor with some quirky and colorful shapes instead? Our shape graphics range from geometric to abstract, and everything else in-between!
Repeating a small number of shapes to create a pattern is a quick and easy way to create an eye-catching frame – just like we’ve done here.
Symbols
Speaking of repetition, the Graphic Library’s Symbols category is another great place to look for inspiration for your custom photo frame.
Here, we’ve chosen two sun symbols to highlight the theme of our image, then repeated them around the edges of the photo to frame it nicely. Having both a solid and outlined sun creates an eye-catching contrast too.
Final Image
Don’t get lost among the online crowd; make your social media or blog imagery stand out in style, thanks to our wide range of graphic photo frame options.
Think of it as your very own online photo frame maker, available in our easy-to-use Photo Editor!
