GIF Canvas / Pad (Add Padding Without Cropping)

Resize your GIF canvas without cropping any content. Add padding around your animation to fit specific dimensions like 512×512 for emojis, or standard video sizes like 1920×1080.

Choose from preset canvas sizes or enter custom dimensions. Align your content anywhere on the canvas with 9-position alignment (corners, edges, center). Select transparent or solid color backgrounds.

Unlike cropping, canvas expansion preserves all original content while adding space around it. Perfect for formatting GIFs for specific platforms, creating borders, or centering content.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Canvas and Crop?

Crop removes content outside the selection. Canvas only expands the canvas size and adds padding, keeping all original content intact.

Why would I use Canvas?

Common uses include formatting GIFs for specific platform requirements (like 512×512 for Discord emojis), adding decorative borders, or centering content.

Which formats support transparency?

GIF and WebP support transparent backgrounds. MP4 does not support transparency and will use a solid color.

Do you add a watermark?

No. Exports are completely watermark-free.

Are files uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Will file size increase?

Yes, larger canvas dimensions typically increase file size, though the amount depends on the background type and padding area.
