When editing a batch, use the Layout settings to change the padding and alignment of your images. There are pre-made settings to choose from, or you can set your own custom preferences.
Before you start
Before you use the Layout settings, be aware that they:
Apply to the entire selected image, not just a layer
Override any Position settings in place for individual layers.
We recommend you use the Layout settings first and then use the Position settings to fine tune the individual foreground layers, if needed. To learn about the Position settings, see Position, flip, and rotate layers on a batch of images (Web App).
The Layout > Center and Position > Custom settings are better suited to images that have had the automatic background removal take place and a new background applied. These images have a background layer and a cutout layer.
Flat single layer images may leave transparent gaps if they are centered or repositioned.
Steps (Web App)
There are three ways to position and pad your batch images: Original, Center, and Custom.
You can find step-by-step instructions for each in the sections below.
Original position and padding
To reset batch images to their original position and padding:
Use the Layout settings to change the positioning and padding on all, or some, of the images (see Center position and padding, and Custom position and padding in this article).
Select the images you want to reset to their original state.
To learn about selecting, see How to select batch images (Web App).
Select Position.
Select Original.
Photoroom restores the original position and padding of each selected image in the batch.[Optional] Use the editor to make further changes, such as add text, graphics, or shapes.
Center position and padding
To position images centrally and adjust the padding:
Select the images you want to change.
To learn about selecting, see How to select batch images (Web App).
Select Layout.
Select Center.
Control how Photoroom uses padding.
Turn Ignore padding on cropped sides on to ignore padding on any images where the content touches the edges of the canvas.
Turn Ignore padding on cropped sides off to use padding on all images.
Use the Padding slider to change the amount of padding for each side. The shaded area in the preview is the padding.
[Optional] Use the editor to make further changes, such as add text, graphics, or shapes.
Custom position and padding
To move batch images to specific positions and set their padding:
Select the images you want to change.
To learn about selecting, see How to select batch images (Web App).
Select Layout.
Select Custom.
Control how Photoroom uses padding.
Turn Ignore padding on cropped sides on to ignore padding on any images where the content touches the edges of the canvas.
Turn Ignore padding on cropped sides off to use padding on all images.
Set the Padding as a percentage. There are Padding values for each side (left, right, top, bottom).
Use Align to set the position of the main object in your image. Choose a position from the list.
Use Scale to set how the image fits with the padding. Scale is only available when Ignore padding on cropped sides is off.
Fill
Scales the content to fill the available space, cropping the image if needed.
Fit
Makes the whole image fit within the available space, leaving a transparent margin.
[Optional] Use the editor to make further changes, such as add text, graphics, or shapes.
