Documents, sheets, and slides aren’t always easy to organize and find on a computer. The solution comes from Google and it’s called Google Docs.

Google Docs is part of a free office-suite provided by Google within the Google Drive service. It includes Google Sheets and Google Slides, and all of this is happening online.

The office suite is compatible with Microsoft Office file formats and it’s available on multiple platforms including Android, IOS, Blackberry, Windows, Chrome OS, and most importantly it’s available as a web app.

This application allows creating and editing of documents online by multiple users in real-time.

Despite all its features, many users complain about the lack of a bordering tool. If you need borders on a document, there aren’t many options and it’s a bit of a gimmicky process.

The easiest way to add a border is by creating a 1 by 1 table. For most of the projects, this solution should work perfectly.

Additionally, you can create a border by drawing it or by inserting a picture frame file into your document.

In any case, let’s find out how to create borders on a Google document.

The first thing that you should do is to check the Templates that the app offers. Maybe one of them fits your project and you won’t need to create a border manually.

What are borders in Google Docs?

Borders are lines that encase the entire text of your document or paragraphs, making the design of your finished document stand out from the crowd.

No matter if you’re creating a CV, presentation, or simply noting information for yourself, an organized and good-looking document will always be the best way to go.

Borders offer your document a plus of style, allowing you to make a document seem playful and fun, or serious and assertive.

It all comes down to your choice, and which of the following methods you will use, as some offer more customization than others.

Borders are not needed in Google Docs by default, but, as mentioned above, they can make your document stand out from the crowd.

This can have huge implications if you’re competing for a job with many other people or are presenting your project in a meeting.

Improving the overall aesthetics of a document can give you an edge in all situations, and allows you to express yourself more creatively as well.

How can I add page borders in Google Docs?

1. Add page borders by using a table

Go to your Google Docs page and in the Start a new document choose Blank.

Now in the Menu click on Insert, select Table, and choose a 1 x 1 grid.

In the top-right, you will have the border options: Background colour, Border colour, Border width and Border dash. You can change the format in the manner that you see fit.

That’s it. You know have a border on your document and you can add text, pictures, and other things inside the cell created at step 2.

2. Add a page border by using the Draw function

Go to your Google Docs page and in the Start a new document choose Blank.

In the Menu click on Insert, select Drawing, and choose New.

In the top menu click on Shape, select Shapes, and choose how you want your border to look.

In the end, click Save and Close.

If you want to change the format after you saved, click on the border in the document and a menu will appear. Click Edit.

3. Add a document border by insterting a picture

In the end, if you’re not satisfied with the result, you can always download and insert a frame/border picture file as a background for the document.

Just be sure to stretch it, if needed, and the resolution is high enough. After that, insert a text frame and you’re good to go.

You can follow these exact steps to achieve good results, even though this method proves to be far more restrictive than using the previously-mentioned methods.

Inside the Google document, click on Insert from the top menu, and choose Drawing, and then + New.

Click the Image option from the toolbar at the top.

Either drag and drop the border image you previously downloaded, or click the Choose an image to upload button.

Click the Texbox option from the top toolbar.

Drag and drop the text box inside the border image.

Type the desired text in the box, and click the Save and close button.

4. Add borders for specific paragraphs

Even though this type of paragraph will not encase your entire document, it is a very useful tool in case you want to evidentiate a specific part of the text.

Using this wisely in your design can make your document stand out from the rest, and here are the steps you need to follow:

Click the Format option from the top taskbar.

Hover your mouse over the Paragraph Styles option, and choose Borders and Shading.

Adjust the properties to fit your needs.

Click Apply when you’ve finished editing the settings.

Can I create custom borders in Google Docs?

Yes, you have an unlimited amount of options when it comes to this task, but it is worth noting that for now, you can only do so by creating a PNG file with a transparent image and adding it to your document by following the solution nr. 3 presented in this guide.

Will my custom border be automatically added to all pages in my document?

As the entire process of adding a border to your document is made manually, at this point no method can apply it to all pages at once.

That means that you will have to repeat the same process mentioned in this guide for all the pages included in your document (if needed).

If you’re unable to load a file on Google Docs, we have an excellent article that will help you fix the problem right away.
