I love using Miro for building screen maps. But… using Sketch, I copy and paste in, or use the plugin. But I want to add borders to my images!
My frames, especially when working with screens that are very light, end up being weird green-greys to give a definite border. Feels like an easy fix?
As a workaround, why not just drop a rectangular shape in the color you want under the image with its size being slightly larger than the image itself?

It’s a great shout Kiron, thanks for the workaround - a little painful to do with 300+ screens, but definitely would work until (hopefully) a the change is implemented
This simple feature would be invaluable. I often paste screenshots in and when the screenshot has a lot of white in it and I place it on a white frame, I wish I could EASILY right click and add a border or something. The adding a rectangle work around is very painful to do over and over and over.
Agree with@Lauree Schloss . The ability to add a simple border would be great. It’s absence hurts a bit.
Mhhhh … seems like a task for … and i think he could really handle this:
He is developer and has created different Apps for miro with his team.
Maybe one of you can contact him - but I think he will get a message, too.

Actually the auto-resizer might be helpful for some of these image framing use cases.
Imagining a potential Miro plugin...

Limitations:

The alternative I suppose would be to add to this desire to the Miro Wishlist.
Please, add border radius to allow us to create images inside a circle.
The solution proposed don’t works with circles
Many thanks in advanced
I literally just submitted this feature request this would make my projects SO MUCH easier!
When I import an image from Sketch/Figma etc. it usually has a white background already. So when I paste it on to Miro’s white background, you loose the boundaries of the image.
Yes, you can do that workaround of putting a no fill rectangle around the image but there are a few pain points there -
If you are putting in tens to hundreds of images, this is extensive amount of work.
So far, I have been using the workaround of changing the miro artboard’s background to just slightly gray so that you can see the edges of the white image pasted in. But I wish I could have a clean white background.
While using Miro for ideation sessions, I tend to import a lot of images. These are usually screen clips from presentations, imported PDF files, and other content. I then organize in some fashion. It would be helpful if I could easily add a border to these images. The border allows for images with white backgrounds to be distinct. I realize I can use the rectangle tool to manually add a rectangle and fit it around the image to give it a border, but this is time-consuming when there are a lot of imported images. I also realize you can add a frame to each image, but this make the presentation feature difficult to use with all the additional frames this would generate.
An easier and preferred way would be:

Echoing my support for this idea, building off the ideas listed above. Additionally, combining this option with some basic styling structure (extended slightly beyond the Copy Style / Paste Style features currently in place) would allow for the cleaner systemization of pasted images.
Thanks for the insights and efforts of those who posted over the past year :)
To all who replied - this request was implemented! A super helpful feature, and another example of the product team listening to community requests (albeit it a few years in the making).
Nice find@Kyle Chipman !
