How it works

  1. 01

    Place the image on the canvas

    Add a photo or graphic; the editor reads its dimensions and opens a fitted live preview.

  2. 02

    Shape the surrounding space

    The live editor supports independent padding on all four sides instead of forcing a single border width. Adjust each side independently or link all sides, choose a color or transparency, and use ratio presets when the final canvas must be square or portrait.

  3. 03

    Download the framed image

    Confirm the output dimensions in the live editor and export the exact full-resolution canvas.

About this tool

What Image Border & Padding does

The live editor supports independent padding on all four sides instead of forcing a single border width.

Padding expands the canvas without scaling or cropping the source. Independent side values also let you place the image off-center for captions or gallery layouts.

Tips for better results

  • Use PNG or WebP when the padding is transparent.
  • Unlink the sides to reserve space for a caption.
  • Check the displayed output dimensions before export.
  • Processing stays in the current browser tab; download the result before closing it.
