It is handy when you need a specific aspect ratio, want to create a margin for embedding, or simply want the animation to sit in a larger frame.
Features
Add space evenly on all sides or customize each edge independently
Pick any fill color for the added space, including transparent for overlays
The animation stays perfectly centered and untouched
Processes locally in your browser — no uploads, no waiting for a server

Pro Tips
Use transparent spacing if the GIF will be layered over other content on a webpage
To hit a specific aspect ratio like 16:9, calculate how much space to add on the shorter sides
Adding even a small margin (10 to 20 pixels) can make a GIF look much cleaner in a blog post or chat
