Resize & Pad Images: Pad mode

Image resizing is essential for fashion and e-commerce brands, impacting website performance, user experience, and ultimately, sales.


The Resize & Pad tool (under Design → Editor) gives you complete control over image dimensions and positioning. It has two modes, switched with a toggle inside the tool:


  1. Pad mode (this article): add padding around your images while keeping their original size. Perfect for creating consistent spacing or adding borders.
  2. Resize mode: resize images and control where the subject sits. See Resize & Pad Images: Resize mode.


Each processed image costs 1 credit.


Step 1: Open Resize & Pad from the home page or the Editor's tool switcher.
