Special Features

Transparent Fill

When using a Custom Size larger than the original image, the empty space will be transparent β€” exporting PNG preserves the alpha channel. Extremely useful when you need an image with exact dimensions without stretching it.

Canvas Size

Place the image in a larger canvas β€” the image is centered with transparent surroundings. Unlike cropping (cutting away), canvas size expands the frame.

Image Information

Displays file name, file size, and original dimensions β€” convenient for reference when cropping.
