This browser-based tool lets you expand the canvas around any static or animated GIF by adding extra empty space to its edges. You can choose which edges to extend – top, bottom, left, or right – and define the empty space size in pixels. By default, the empty space is transparent but you can pick a custom color. Additionally, you can see the changed animation in the live GIF player. Created by GIF experts from team Browserling.

This is a browser-based program that lets you surround a GIF image with an additional empty area, giving your animation more space. The new area can be used to increase the overall dimensions of the GIF, precisely align the file within a grid, or create separation from neighboring elements on a web page. The amount of space added can be specified in pixels – you just need enter a numerical value in the tool options, which determines the thickness of the expanded sides. The added space can also be filled with any color you choose, from solid tones like white or dark blue to fully transparent. To make it invisible/transparent, simply enter the value "transparent" in the color option, which is especially userful when placing the GIF over different backgrounds or preparing it for composition with other elements. Since GIFs support only a single transparent color in each frame, partial/semi-transparency is not possible. Additional checkbox options let you control how to expand the canvas around the GIF – on all four sides at once (top, bottom, left, or right side), on some sides (for example, top and bottom), or just one side (for example, only left). In the third options column, you'll find the "Live GIF Player" checkbox, which lets you see the updated GIF with the added space. It's usually useful to keep it enabled so that you can see changes before saving the final GIF. Below this option, you'll also find the information about the final GIF – its new width and height, number of frames, and the current frame that's shown on the screen. Gifabulous!

In this example, we expand the space around Ken Masters performing his iconic Shoryuken move from the Street Fighter game. As the animation has a wide vertical and horizontal range, so we add 60 extra pixels of transparent space on all sides to prevent the character from feeling cramped in the frame. (Source: Capcom.)
In this example, we demonstrate how to add a custom-colored space around a GIF animation. We upload a GIF of an attentive doggo and enable all side-selection checkboxes so that the space is added to the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the GIF. The space width is set to 15 pixels, which means each side gets 15 more pixels, so the total dimensions expand by 30 pixels horizontally and vertically. This increases the image size from 320 by 320 pixels to 350 by 350 pixels. The space color is set to dark brown (#613917), which creates a visual harmony with the dog's fur tones. (Source: Pexels.)
In this example, we load a static square GIF of a sliced orange on a bright reddish surface and add 600 pixels of solid orange-red area (#f7431f) to the right side only. This extra area changes the image from a centered still into a masterpiece of contemporary art. The large color block creates asymmetric design with intentional negative space intended for overlaying text or other design elements. The GIF isn't playing as it's static and contains just one frame. (Source: Pexels.)
