Add Padding to Image

Add Padding to Image is a browser-based image tool on ImgToolsBase. Add space around an image — equal on all sides or per side — with a solid or transparent background, entirely in your browser. To use it, upload or drop your image and view the result directly in your browser — no signup and nothing to install.
How this tool works
Equal or per-side
Use the same padding on all sides, or switch to individual mode for separate top, right, bottom, and left values.
Background
Fill the padding with a solid color, or keep it transparent with PNG or WebP.
Dimensions grow
The image keeps its size; the canvas expands by the padding. The result panel reports the new dimensions.
Output naming
The padded image is named with a -padded suffix in your chosen format.

Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server by Add Padding to Image?
No. The padding is added in your browser with the HTML canvas, and your image is never uploaded to imgtoolsbase or any server.
Can I add padding to only one side?
Yes. Switch to individual sides and set the top, right, bottom, and left padding separately; leave the others at zero to pad only one side.
Can the padding be transparent?
Yes, when you output PNG or WebP and choose the transparent background mode. JPG cannot store transparency, so its padding is filled with the background color.
Does padding change the image itself?
No. The original image keeps its size; the canvas grows by the padding you add. The result panel shows the new total dimensions.
Which output formats can I choose?
Keep the same format as the input or convert to JPG, PNG, or WebP. The file is named with a -padded suffix.
