Add padding to the image with Python - Pillow

Add padding to the image with Python - Pillow

Last Updated : 16 Mar, 2021

Prerequisites: Pillow(python library)

Padding is the space between the contents, the container, and the border. An image can be considered content to some container and extra padding can be added to it. This article depicts how this can be done. Padding can be added by straightaway supplying the values for the side to be padded. These values can then be passed to the function to create a new image.

Installation

This module is not preloaded with Python. So to install it execute the following command in the command-line:

pip install pillow

Approach

Import module
Open image
Set values for padding
Set different dimensions for image
Pass the padding values to the image
Save new image

Input Image:

Program :

Python3

from PIL import Image

image = Image.open("input.jpg")

right = 100
left = 100
top = 100
bottom = 100

width, height = image.size

new_width = width + right + left
new_height = height + top + bottom

result = Image.new(image.mode, (new_width, new_height), (0, 0, 255))

result.paste(image, (left, top))

result.save('output.jpg')

Output:

The output generated is just the input image with a padding added to it. Here it appears as a border, since the values given for each side were equal. For different values non-uniform padding can be observed.
