The green border looks not centered after I posted the product, but in the design tool it looks good

I put a green border around the image with the element given by Zazzle. In the design editing it fits the center, but after I posted the design, I always have doubts if it is centered. Do you have the same issue and how do you solve it? Is there a trick.  This design is a little bit extreme for noticing the problem and it is one a cover Photo

1) I can't speak to the design tool vs. preview issue - you might want to post a link.

2) If you want to be sure something is centered, it's always best to use the align tool rather than just eyeballing it:

3) In general, Zazzle has advised us to avoid this sort of border because of the way the cards are printed. Somewhere, eons ago, one of the Zazzle mods posted a video that showed us the system used - they print the invites on big sheets and then cut a big stack to size all at once, so there's always the chance that something will get slightly off-centered in that process - which is why there's the green safe line vs. blue "cut" line vs. red bleed line. They aim to cut it at the blue line, but it has a margin of error anywhere between the red and green line. So in a nutshell, you'd be better off deleting that border all together because any centering imperfections will stand out like a sore thumb.

Beautiful design, BTW!

thank you so much, a new solution might be : I change the background color, shrink the design and put the design in the center, so it doesn´t come out strange now. That should work?

You could do that, or you could just make the image full frame with no border.
