Details
How this should help in practice
These sections explain the job in plain language and set expectations for what the tool should do well.
Why padding is not the same as resize
A resize tool changes the image dimensions by scaling the content. Padding is different because the artwork stays the same size and only the canvas around it changes.
That makes it useful when an app icon, sticker, or marketplace cutout already looks right but needs more breathing room inside the file.
Where the square mode helps most
Square output is helpful for icon prep, app assets, and stickers where the canvas itself needs to be balanced even if the subject is not naturally square.
FAQ
Common questions
Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.
Does this scale the image itself?
No. The source artwork stays the same size inside the PNG. The tool only changes the canvas around it.
Can the padding stay transparent?
Yes. Transparent is the default, but you can also use white, black, or a custom solid color.
Does this upload the PNG to a server?
No. The canvas expansion and export happen locally in the browser.
