Padding Use Cases

Use Case	Padding Amount	Background
Instagram square fit	Auto to fill 1:1	White or black
Print bleed margins	3-5 mm equivalent	White
Presentation slides	50-100 px per side	Match slide color
Text space below image	Bottom only, 100+ px	White

Practical Tips

• Use equal padding on all sides to center a landscape image within a square canvas for Instagram.
• Set transparent background (PNG only) if you need padding without a visible color fill.
• Match the padding color to your website or social media profile background for a seamless look.

What is the difference between padding and border?

Padding extends the canvas with a flat background color. A border adds a visible outline or frame around the image. Both increase the overall dimensions.

Can I add padding asymmetrically?

Yes. You can set different padding values for each side — for example, add 200 px to the bottom for caption space while keeping other sides at 0.
