The following image cuts when used as a logo here. I want to increase the size of the transparent background so it fits in properly without the underneath cut, as shown here. Using Gimp 2.8, how can I accomplish this?



Any help is apprecited :)

You probably want Fit canvas to layers: docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-image-resize-to-layers.html
And it could be that you didn't know about the difference between the canvas - the visible area of the image, and layers - the parts that the image content consists of.

Fixed it after playing around in Gimp for a bit.


Open the image in Gimp.
Press "R" or "CTRL + A" to select your image.
Right click on the image, select: FX-Foundry -> Image Effects -> "Resize Image to Layers...".
Enter a numeric value for: Border Size (Pixels), I used 45.
Select "OK" to apply the changes and press CTRL + E to export the image.




I hope this helps! :)
