Change the canvas size of an image online: add margins or a colored border around a photo, extend the background to fit a required frame, or trim the canvas without scaling the picture itself. PIXLFLW does it all locally in your browser — your image is never uploaded anywhere.

What you can do

  • Expand the canvas — add padding on any side, e.g. to turn a rectangular photo into a square for Instagram without cropping it.
  • Pick the fill color — white, black, or any custom color for the new area.
  • Anchor the image — keep your photo centered or pin it to a corner or edge of the new canvas.
  • Shrink the canvas — cut the visible area without resampling the pixels.

How to change canvas size

  1. Drop an image into the upload area (formats: GIF, JPG, BMP, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, TIFF).
  2. Set the new canvas width and height in px, %, mm, in and choose the fill color and anchor.
  3. Download the result as JPG or PNG.

Canvas size is different from resizing: resize scales the picture itself, while canvas size changes the area around it. For scaling, use the resize tool from the list below.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

01What is the difference between canvas size and image resize?

Resizing scales the picture itself. Changing the canvas size keeps the picture at its original scale and adds or removes space around it — like putting the same photo in a bigger or smaller frame.

02How do I add a white border around a photo?

Increase the canvas width and height, keep the image anchored in the center, and choose white (or any color) as the fill for the new area.

03Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. PIXLFLW runs entirely in your browser: images are opened, edited and exported locally on your device and are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.

04Is it really free? Are there watermarks or limits?

Yes, completely free — no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits. The only practical limit is your browser memory for very large files (up to 20 MB per image).
