Question 1

Can I add a transparent padding area?

Accepted Answer

Yes, choose 'Transparent' for the background to save the padding area as transparent PNG.

Question 2

Is the original file format preserved?

Accepted Answer

Yes — JPG stays JPG, WebP stays WebP, PNG stays PNG. Choosing transparent background automatically outputs PNG.

Question 3

How do I add a white border for Instagram?

Accepted Answer

Set your padding to the desired thickness and set the background color to white (#ffffff) to get the classic Instagram white-border look.

Question 4

Will the file size increase a lot?
