The online editor Fotor offers a function that allows you to simulate Polaroid photos by computer. The feature, which is part of the editing platform's frame options, still offers adjustments to the photo's border and colors to personalize the effect. The procedure is relatively simple and can be performed with photos from the computer, Dropbox and Facebook. The polaroid filter is part of Fotor's free packages.
Before saving the edited image, the service will ask you to log in using your Facebook account. The file can be saved in PNG or JPG in different qualities, which can reduce or increase the final file size. Check out how to make polaroid effect online using the Fotor image editor.
