FAQs
What's the difference between padding and border modes?
Padding mode adds space around your image (like a photo mat), while border mode adds a line around the edge of your image (like a picture frame). Padding mode is useful for creating whitespace, while border mode is better for defining boundaries.
Can I add different sized borders to each side?
Yes! By unchecking the "Link all borders" option, you can customize the top, right, bottom, and left borders independently. This allows for creative framing effects or asymmetrical designs.
What border colors are available?
You can choose from white, black, transparent, or any custom color using our color picker. The transparent option is particularly useful for web graphics where you want spacing without a visible border.
Will adding borders reduce my image quality?
No, our tool maintains the original image quality. You can also enable the "Optimize quality" option for enhanced results when processing.
Can I create transparent borders?
Yes, selecting the transparent border option allows you to add spacing around your image while maintaining transparency. This is useful for web design and graphic layouts.
What file formats are supported?
Our tool supports all common image formats including JPG, PNG, and WebP. When preserving transparency, images are saved as PNG, otherwise they're saved as high-quality JPG.
