About
Sometimes a GIF feels cramped when the animation runs right up to the edge. Adding padding creates extra space around the content without changing the animation itself. This is useful when embedding GIFs in layouts where you need a margin, or when you want to center the animation inside a larger canvas for a cleaner presentation.
Features
Independent control for top, bottom, left, and right padding values
Choose any background color for the padding area, including transparent
The original animation stays untouched — only the canvas size changes
