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.
