Add padding of a chosen color around an image.
Category: Image Tools
When to use?
Use it when you need uniform padding around an image, like for Instagram, blog, or shop thumbnails.
How to use
- Select an image.
- Enter the padding size and color.
- Save the expanded PNG.
Input Explanation
Choose the padding pixels to add on each side and the padding color.
Calculation Basis
It makes a Canvas larger than the original, fills the background color, and places the original in the center.
Usage Examples
- Match social specs - Match aspect ratios with padding without cropping the image.
- Prepare images for upload - Preview the result, then tidy images for blogs, shops, or social media.
- Compare results - Check original and result side by side for quality and display.
Examples
- Add 80px white padding around a square product photo
- Add side padding to a tall photo to make it square
Cautions
- It processes via browser canvas, so original metadata (EXIF) may be lost or transparent areas may change color.
- Extremely high-resolution large files may fail to convert due to browser image-decoding limits.
FAQ
Can I set each side separately?
It currently applies the same padding on all sides.
Is the photo uploaded to a server?
No. Padding runs on browser Canvas, so the photo is not sent out.
Can I change the padding color?
Yes. Set any padding color, not just white, to match the background.
Can padding sizes differ per side?
You can set padding in pixels to make a square or match social specs.
